Subject: [PATCH 3/3] tpm: vtpm_proxy: Avoid reading host log when using a virtual device
Date:   Mon,  8 Mar 2021 22:19:54 -0500

Avoid allocating memory and reading the host log when a virtual device
is used since this log is of no use to that driver. A virtual
device can be identified through the flag TPM_CHIP_FLAG_VIRTUAL, which
is only set for the tpm_vtpm_proxy driver.

Fixes: 6f99612e2500 ("tpm: Proxy driver for supporting multiple emulated TPMs")
