I definitely know that OP-TEE can access storage only when the "user mode" supplicant 
is running :). But fTPM NV storage should have been initialized in 
in the preboot environment (UEFI/U-boot). 

It would also be helpful to understand the overall use case/scenario (Measured boot?)you
are trying to exercise with the fTPM. 

I also want to emphasize that this discussion is turning into more of how 
fTPM gets integrated/enabled in a new HW platform.  
fTPM is hosted in github and you definitely bring any issues/feature requests there.

Can you give me the details of HW so that I can order one for myself? 
Is it one of the 96boards? 
The reason for the ask is that we have not upstreamd u-boot fTPM stack yet, 
although we have future plans for it.
