Re: [BUG] Nuvoton NCPT650 TPM 2.0 mode not working

[Michael Niewöhner]

Hi all,

I tried that patch mentioned by Mimi but it does not change anything for me.

Then I did some more tests with different kernel configs and finally got TPM
working by
a) compiling TPM as modules and rmmod tpm* and re-modprobe tpm_tis.

(initramfs) dmesg | grep -i tpm
[    0.000000] efi:  ACPI 2.0=0x9ea7e000 ACPI=0x9ea7e000 SMBIOS=0x9f5eb000
SMBIOS 3.0=0x9f5ea000 ESRT=0x9c07d918 MEMATTR=0x9bea3018 TPMEventLog=0x97cbb018
[    0.003793] ACPI: TPM2 0x000000009EAB7F70 000034 (v03 LENOVO TC-
S06   00001260 AMI 00000000)
(initramfs) rmmod tpm_crb tpm_tis tpm_tis_core tpm
(initramfs) modprobe tpm_tis
[   44.956905] tpm_tis MSFT0101:00: 2.0 TPM (device-id 0xFE, rev-id 2)

b) compiling TPM-support in-kernel and manually bind the ACPI device

(initramfs) dmesg | grep -i tpm
[    0.000000] efi: ACPI 2.0=0x9ea7e000 ACPI=0x9ea7e000 SMBIOS=0x9f5eb000 SMBIOS
3.0=0x9f5ea000 ESRT=0x9c07d918 MEMATTR=0x9bea3018 TPMEventLog=0x97cbb018
[    0.003546] ACPI: TPM2 0x000000009EAB7F70 000034 (v03 LENOVO TC-S06 00001260
AMI 00000000)
(initramfs) echo MSFT0101:00 >/sys/bus/platform/drivers/tpm_tis/bind
[  233.076079] tpm_tis MSFT0101:00: 2.0 TPM (device-id 0xFE, rev-id 2)


It seems to me, the kernel tries to enable the TPM to early...
