This was my reply to the comment the last time:

I can do that, but I think this should be higher than debug. If
this trips, something an application was doing will fail with a non
TPM error and someone may wish to investigate why. Having a kernel
message would help with that (but they won't see it if it's debug).

I'm also leaning towards the idea that we should actually have one
more _tbl slot than we know the TPM does, so that if someone goes
over it's the TPM that gives them a real TPM out of memory error
rather than the space code returning -ENOMEM.

If you agree, I think it should be four for both sessions_tbl and
context_tbl.

So I really don't think it should be debug. Could we compromise on
dev_info?
