From: "Daniel P. Smith" <dpsmith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Commit 933bfc5ad213 introduced the use of a locality counter to control when a locality request is allowed to be sent to the TPM. In the commit, the counter is indiscriminately decremented. Thus creating a situation for an integer underflow of the counter. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
