The purpose of commenting out the TPM2 selftest was to minimize the
TPM initialization delay, so that the TPM is ready before IMA. ÂAfter
James' patch that wasn't needed anymore.

Looking back at this thread, I see you're using systemd-boot, not
grub2. ÂWhen you commented out the systemd-boot timeout, IMA found the
TPM. ÂThe question is why isn't the TPM ready with the timeout before
IMA (like above)? ÂHas systemd-boot done the selftest?
