Is this true?

It looks like this fTPM driver can't work as a built-in driver. The
reason seems to be secure storage access required by OP-TEE fTPM TA
that is provided via OP-TEE supplicant that's not available during
kernel boot.

Snippet from ms-tpm-20-ref/Samples/ARM32-FirmwareTPM/optee_ta/fTPM/fTPM.c +145:

    // If we fail to open fTPM storage we cannot continue.
    if (_plat__NVEnable(NULL) == 0) {
        TEE_Panic(TEE_ERROR_BAD_STATE);
    }

So it seems like this module will work as a loadable module only after
OP-TEE supplicant is up.
