I like this patch, but how about a slightly different take, make this change instead: -struct tpm_chip *tpm_chip_find_get(int chip_num) +struct tpm_chip *tpm_chip_find_get(struct tpm_chip *chip); Where chip == NULL means the default TPM. And then at all call sites swap TPM_ANY_NUM to NULL and instead of flowing an 'int chip_num' to tpm_chip_find_get, flow the 'struct tpm_chip *' directly. This gets us much closer to the desired API with about the same amount of churn as this patch has. Jason
