Hi,

On 10/15/20 11:44 PM, Jerry Snitselaar wrote:
There is a misconfiguration in the bios of the gpio pin used for the
interrupt in the T490s. When interrupts are enabled in the tpm_tis
driver code this results in an interrupt storm. This was initially
reported when we attempted to enable the interrupt code in the tpm_tis
driver, which previously wasn't setting a flag to enable it. Due to
the reports of the interrupt storm that code was reverted and we went back
to polling instead of using interrupts. Now that we know the T490s problem
is a firmware issue, add code to check if the system is a T490s and
disable interrupts if that is the case. This will allow us to enable
interrupts for everyone else. If the user has a fixed bios they can
force the enabling of interrupts with tpm_tis.interrupts=1 on the
kernel command line.
