Note this patch causes the following compiler warnings:

  CC [M]  drivers/platform/x86/intel/tpmi.o
drivers/platform/x86/intel/tpmi.c: In function ‘tpmi_create_device’:
drivers/platform/x86/intel/tpmi.c:206:13: warning: unused variable ‘ret’ [-Wunused-variable]
  206 |         int ret, i;
      |             ^~~

I have fixed this and squashed the fix into the patch while applying it,
so there is no need to send a new version:

Thank you for your patch, I've applied this patch to my review-hans 
branch:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pdx86/platform-drivers-x86.git/log/?h=review-hans

Note it will show up in my review-hans branch once I've pushed my
local branch there, which might take a while.

Once I've run some tests on this branch the patches there will be
added to the platform-drivers-x86/for-next branch and eventually
will be included in the pdx86 pull-request to Linus for the next
merge-window.

Regards,

Hans
