I had thought about stable, but the fix gets tricky since the two tables
were added at different times (4.16 and 5.3) and the efi_tables array was
moved from drivers/firmware/efi/efi.c to arch/x86/platform/efi/efi.c in 5.4.

I could do the two TPM tables each as their own patch and add an
appropriate Cc: stable # v4.16.x-, etc., if you don't think that's
overkill. The array move shouldn't be too hard to adjust for in stable.
Thoughts?

Thanks,
Tom
