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.

You add new sysfs files, but do not add Documentation/ABI/
entries
showing how they are used and what they contain :(

Please do that for the next version of this patch.
It's a bit of a chicken and egg problem since I've no idea when
this
will go upstream and the entries require that information making
the
ABI more of a post accept type thing.  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?
You mean Rob Elliott's?  Yes, it was in the change log
Other than that, please send a version with ABI entries  so that
we can move forward with this.
It's already sent ... although vger is being a bit slow at the moment.
