I made all the other changes, but I'm not sure what to identify in the
fixes tag.  The problem is the code I updated was simply carried over
unaltered from TPM 1.2

You could certainly argue that commit

commit 0fe5480303a1657b328a0a389f8d99249d9961f5
Author: Jarkko Sakkinen <jarkko.sakkinen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

    keys, trusted: seal/unseal with TPM 2.0 chips

Should have updated the blobauth handling ... is that the one you'd
like fixes: to identify?
