TCG_TPM_KERNEL_PCR would be a more descriptive name, and the
description should be less abstract, e.g.

"Introduce TCG_TPM_RESTRICT_PCR to Kconfig. If enabled, filter out
TPM2_CC_PCR_{EXTEND, RESET} concerning PCR 23 in tpm_common_write()."

This should be the first paragraph (motivation).

Why do you need to export this? That was not discussed in the commit
message.

The function name is quite undescriptive IMHO.

Please discuss this call in the commit message.
