Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] tpm: vtpm_proxy: Avoid reading host log when using a virtual device
Date:   Wed, 10 Mar 2021 17:19:16 -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")
