When reporting a problem please state which kernel is experiencing
this problem. ÂRecently there was a trusted key regression. ÂRefer to
commit e13cd21ffd50 "tpm: Wrap the buffer from the caller to tpm_buf
in tpm_send()" for the details.

Before delving into this particular problem, first please make sure
you are able to create, save, remove, and then reload a trusted key
not sealed to a PCR.
