[PATCH 1/2] tpm: Fix tpmrm reference counting
From: Vincent Whitchurch
Date: Tue Jun 15 2021 - 05:14:21 EST
The code added by commit 8979b02aaf1d6de8 ("tpm: Fix reference count to
main device") tries to take an extra reference to the main device only
for TPM2 by looking at the flags, but the flags are actually not set
at the time when tpm_chip_alloc() is called, so no extra reference is
ever taken, leading to a use-after-free if the TPM modules are removed
when the tpmrm device is in use.

==================================================================
The real fix to the problem which that commit tried to solve is to make
tpmm_chip_alloc() put the ->devs device in the devm release function,
since that is never done anywhere currently. This is safe since
device_initialize() is always called on ->devs. No conditional
reference taking is needed.
