Thanks for pointing this out because I also overlooked the whole fix,
and based my conclusions just "git describe --contains", which pointed
to my previous signed tag.

I actually do QA (both x86 and aarch64 and slowly setting up also riscv)
to my tree, and I did not understand how this could have leaked into a
PR since TPM2 kselftest would have catched that.

The original commit must have gone through some other maintainer tree
since I do not see in any of my PR's. Anyway, I'll document next time
better my PR because apparently not doing that can lead to toally false
conclusions :-)

Thanks for picking it up anyway.

BR, Jarkko
