Re: [PATCH 2/2] firmware: tpm: Introduce tpm-qcom driver

From: Jarkko Sakkinen

Date: Tue Sep 01 2026 - 10:56:53 EST


Short summary has a different driver name that is implemented i.e.,
it should has "tpm_qcom", not "tpm-qcom".

Rename it as tpm_qcom_tee just to be aligned on how Microsoft's fTPM
driver is named.

this change should be a separate patch.

Please don't do this. It can put production systems at risk.
