[PATCH v2] tpm: Don't make vendor check required for probe

From: Mario Limonciello
Date: Mon Aug 21 2023 - 10:13:29 EST


The vendor check introduced by commit 554b841d4703 ("tpm: Disable RNG for
all AMD fTPMs") doesn't work properly on a number of Intel fTPMs. On the
reported systems the TPM doesn't reply at bootup and returns back the
command code. This makes the TPM fail probe.

As this isn't crucial for anything but AMD fTPM and AMD fTPM works, check
the chip vendor and if it's not AMD don't run the checks.
