Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] tpm: add OP-TEE transport core and a discrete TPM driver
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 15:19:08 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110141923.3100770-2-jorge.ramirez@oss.qualcomm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261110141923.3100770-1-jorge.ramirez@oss.qualcomm.com>
Some platforms place a real (discrete) TPM on a bus that only the secure
world can drive. OP-TEE owns that bus, so the normal world cannot reach
the chip directly; it instead exposes a mediator trusted application
that relays TPM2 commands. Add a driver that talks to that application
and presents the chip as a standard TPM2 character device, so the
normal-world TPM stack works unchanged.
This is a separate driver from the firmware-TPM one rather than a reuse
of it. The TEE transport is the same and is shared through a common
core, but the device identity differs: the firmware TPM uses its own
application and a public-login session, whereas a discrete chip needs
its own application and is restricted to kernel access so that user
space and other applications cannot submit raw commands to it. Folding
both into one driver would also break on a platform that has both.
