[PATCH v2 08/10] tpm-buf: Remove chip parameter from tpm_buf_append_handle()

From: Ross Philipson

Date: Sat Jul 11 2026 - 12:04:00 EST


From: Jarkko Sakkinen <jarkko.sakkinen@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Remove the TPM driver chip parameter from the function
tpm_buf_append_handle(). The chip parameter is only for error logging
which can be done with other facilities like WARN().
