Hi Tomas

I will update tpm_pcr_extend() by replacing the array of u8 with an
array of tpm2_digest structures, so that the caller can provide multiple
digests with one call. The array of tpm2_digest structures will be
passed to tpm2_pcr_extend(). Please, don't modify the parameters of
tpm2_pcr_extend().

Thanks

Roberto
