tpm: tpm_crb_ffa: try to probe tpm_crb_ffa when it's built-in
To generate the boot_aggregate log in the IMA subsystem using TPM PCR
values, the TPM driver must be built as built-in and must be probed
before the IMA subsystem is initialized.
However, when the TPM device operates over the FF-A protocol using the
CRB interface, probing fails and returns -EPROBE_DEFER if the
tpm_crb_ffa device — an FF-A device that provides the communication
interface to the tpm_crb driver — has not yet been probed.
This issue occurs because both crb_acpi_driver_init() and
tpm_crb_ffa_driver_init() are registered with device_initcall. As a
result, crb_acpi_driver_init() may be invoked before
tpm_crb_ffa_driver_init(), which is responsible for probing the
tpm_crb_ffa device.
When this happens, IMA fails to detect the TPM device and logs the
following message:
| ima: No TPM chip found, activating TPM-bypass!
Consequently, it cannot generate the boot_aggregate log with the PCR
values provided by the TPM.
To resolve this issue, the tpm_crb_ffa_init() function explicitly
attempts to probe the tpm_crb_ffa by register tpm_crb_ffa driver so that
when tpm_crb_ffa device is created before tpm_crb_ffa_init(), probe the
tpm_crb_ffa device in tpm_crb_ffa_init() to finish probe the TPM device
completely.
This ensures that the TPM device using CRB over FF-A can be successfully
probed, even if crb_acpi_driver_init() is called first.
[ jarkko: reformatted some of the paragraphs because they were going past
the 75 character boundary. ]
