At least I don’t spot more messages.

```

Is it correct, that this is added in/for 4.11, so just recently? Testing 
with Linux 4.10.8, everything is detected just fine.

```
$ journalctl -k -o cat | grep -i tpm
tpm_tis 00:08: 1.2 TPM (device-id 0x3202, rev-id 5)
tpm tpm0: A TPM error (38) occurred attempting to determine the timeouts

```

If nothing comes to mind with the new information above, then I could do 
that. But I don’t know, if I’ll have time in the next two weeks for 
that.


Kind regards,
