Hi,

We have an embedded product with an Infineon SLM9670 TPM. After updating
to a newer LTS kernel version we started seeing the following warning at
boot.

Initially I dismissed this as a warning that would probably be cleaned
up when we did more work on the TPM support for our product but we also
seem to be getting some new i2c issues and possibly a kernel stack
corruption that we've conflated with this TPM warning.
