[PATCH] tpm: fix bug for TPM on ThinkPad T60 and Z60

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The TPM chip on the ThinkPad T60 and Z60 machines is returning 0xFFFF
for the vendor ID which is a check the driver made to double check it
was actually talking to the memory mapped space of a TPM.  This patch
removes the check since it isn't absolutely necessary and was causing
device discovery to fail on these machines.

This bug fix should go into 2.6.17.
