Re: [PATCH 1/3] TPM: new stm i2c device driver

[Rajiv Andrade]

Hi Christophe,

The code must be applied and compiled against the security-next tree, that currently doesn't provide the locked ioctl anymore. Can you implement the locking inside tpm_st19_i2c_ioctl() and set it at the unlocked_ioctl field? Shouldn't be too hard, you can get tpm_write() as an example.

By the way, I may be missing something, but why the tpm command transmission (TPMIOC_TRANSMIT) should be handled through ioctl instead of a modified tpm_write() that can send the commands through i2c?

Thanks,
Rajiv
