This patch was mainly developed and tested on Kabylake with PTT as well.
It could be a few things. Are you booting with the EFI stub? Is the
TPM enabled within the BIOS? Does tpm_tis get loaded? Does it produce
any log?
If the logs are recovered (but not parsed), you should already see an
entry in the logs like:
efi: SMBIOS=0x7fed6000 ACPI=0x7ff00000 TPMEventLog=0x.....
Can you see the TPMEventLog part?
The issue with extra logging is that the log recovery happens within
the EFI stub phase where limited logging is available (which I think
has been limited to error and fatal message only).
For now, it cannot be a version mismatch as the stub will only request
the version 1.2 format.
