RE: [PATCH v7 1/2] fTPM: firmware TPM running in TEE

Hi Ilias,

First of all, Thanks a lot for trying to test the driver.

This (0xffff0008) translates to TEE_ERROR_ITEM_NOT_FOUND.

Where is fTPM TA located in the your test setup? 
Is it stitched into TEE binary as an EARLY_TA or 
Is it expected to be loaded during run-time with the help of user mode OP-TEE supplicant?

My guess is that you are trying to load fTPM TA through user mode OP-TEE supplicant. 
Can you confirm? 
If that is the true, 
- In the case of driver built as a module (CONFIG_TCG_FTPM_TEE=m), this is works fine 
as user mode supplicant is ready. 
- In the built-in case (CONFIG_TCG_FTPM_TEE=y), 
This would result in the above error 0xffff0008 as TEE is unable to find fTPM TA. 

The expectation is that fTPM TA is built as an EARLY_TA (in BL32) so that
U-boot and Linux driver stacks work seamlessly without dependency on supplicant.
