Thanks for the comments and reactions so far!

Well. Changed -disable-tpm to enable-tpm in the rpmbuild and
built myself a version with TPM passthrough enabled. Just to find
out that it only supports tpm_tis in 2.10.0 and our device
only seem to speak tpm_cdr :-(. Bugger.. But we really do need multiple
VM:s accessing the hardware TPM anyway and this would only give us
one VM ...

Also downloaded qemu 2.12.0 and tried to very optimistically just
throw it in the rpmbuild. And got a heap of patch fails already
at the first patch. Expected of course... So no such luck.

Now looking further it also seems like even 2.12.0 will not solve
our problem as it only gives multiple VM access to the swtpm emulator.
We need access to the hardware TPM...

Can you make swtpm use the hardware ?

Any advice would/will be valuable!

Best
Dag
