I fixed up the above as it should be only single octect string to this:

	ptr = &in[0];
        *ptr++ = 0x04; /* uncompressed */
        ptr = asn1_encode_octet_string(&ptr[0], &in[sizeof(in)],
                                       &data[0], 2 * x_size);
        in_len = ptr - in;
        pr_info("in_len=%u\n", in_len);
        ret = crypto_akcipher_set_pub_key(tfm, in, in_len);
        crypto_free_akcipher(tfm);

It fails in:

	ndigits = DIV_ROUND_UP(digitlen, sizeof(u64));
	if (ndigits != ctx->curve->g.ndigits)
		return -EINVAL;

I checked that in_len=67.

The tfm is deleted at instant because the above code is part of *_query.
TPM2 ECDSA asymmetric key that way that signature verification will work
when it is needed. The key type signs with TPM and verifies with the
software cipher.
