Hi Sasha,

Firstly apologies for my comments here as I recently joined
linux-integrity ML so I don't have other patches in my inbox. Also, it
would be nice if you could cc TEE ML in future patches, so that people
are aware of such interesting use-cases and may provide some feedback.

Here this fTPM driver (seems to communicate with OP-TEE based TA)
should register on TEE bus [1] rather than platform bus as its actual
dependency is on TEE driver rather than using deferred probe to meet
its dependency. Have a look at OP-TEE based RNG driver here [2].
