So even if you don't use it, the driver will mess with the CLKRUN signal. Jarkko and Azhar, I wonder what's the solution for this. I understand the quirk is needed for some systems, but on the other hand breaks functionality for other devices. I think that at the very least this should be disabled by default and have a Kconfig option or module parameter to enable if needed. Since as James said, it causes regressions even for people that are not using the TPM device. Although probably reverting the offending commits is the right thing to do until a proper solution is proposed.
