Create sysfs per hash groups with 24 PCR files in them one group, named pcr-<hash>, for each agile hash of the TPM. The files are plugged in to a PCR read function which is TPM version agnostic, so this works also for TPM 1.2 but the hash is only sha1 in that case. Note: the macros used to create the hashes emit spurious checkpatch warnings. Do not try to "fix" them as checkpatch recommends, otherwise they'll break.

I can make a guess about the values if Jarkko is going to but this in for the next merge window. James
I agree with the ABI side, so you can safely include this to the patch set. And yes, this looks like something I can include to the 5.12 PR. Did you address Greg's remarks about warns? Other than that, please send a version with ABI entries so that we can move forward with this. /Jarkko
