I definitely do like the idea! Thanks for spotting this!

However one small remark

I know the fields are described in include/acpi/actbl3.h as
+struct acpi_tpm2_control {
+ u32 reserved;
+ u32 error;
+ u32 cancel;
+ u32 start;
+ u64 interrupt_control;
+ u32 command_size;
+ u64 command_address;
+ u32 response_size;
+ u64 response_address;
+};

but are the names there still correct? Isn't this information outdated?
The acpi spec refers to the MS spec which is not present anymore, and MS refers to the TCG -- and in the PTP your names are used.

---> We should update the ACPI header?
At least the naming for reserved and error.
What do you think?

Thanks,
Peter

Hi

I somehow missed your reply to this last week.

I think you are right. It does not make sense to degrade here. I'll
prepare "CRB fixes" patch set and also include a workaround for this
bug:

Some rethinking after sending this email.

I implement and submit the bug as a separate item as these are
unrelated issues.

I think the control area should not be in the ACPI headers in the
first place as it is not defined TCG ACPI Specification.

so I'm waiting on the new version depending on the updated acpi header?

Yes. I'll submit a new patch later on when new arrives come from ACPICA.
You can ignore this until then.
