It looks like stable should be pinged as well. I saw a report yesterday for Fedora
where someone is seeing issue where the tpm device no longer shows up with
a 6.4.11 kernel. That kernel pulled in commit 554b841d4703. It pulled in a couple
other tpm commits, and there is practically no info in the bug at this point,
but I'm guessing the probe is failing due to 554b841d4703.
