You are mixing different things. This patchset creates inconsistency.
You even refer here to bindings while we discuss the driver...

Why this one driver is different than all other Linux drivers? Why do
you keep pushing here entirely different behavior?

The devices are compatible, so growing match table is both redundant and
confusing. That's everywhere. TPM is not different.
