Since we are the linux kernel, we do have to care for legacy devices. And a system with LPC, PS2Mouse on SuperIO and a TPM are not that uncommon. And heck, we even have support for 1.1b TPM devices....
Understood. However, remember that SuperIO is a 1980's device that predates the TPM. Since the TPM requires special LPC bus cycles, it's even less likely that an old chipset has an attached TPM.
Interesting - let me check with Georg tomorrow. Unfortunately I do not have access to my tcg mails from home (since I'm not working :), but did you _explicitly_ talk about LPC and the system? I'm sure the TPM does not care about the waitstates...
Yes, Infineon was one of the 3 TPM vendors who confirmed this. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-security-module" in the body of a message to majordomo at vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
