We've had other reports of this:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-integrity/ghsgagsnag.fsf@xxxxxxxxxxx/
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-integrity/374e918c-f167-9308-2bea-ae6bc6a3d2e3@elloe.vision/

The problem is some TIS TPMs don't begin in the correct locality so we
have to set it.  When I proposed the check, I also proposed a fix for
this problem:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-integrity/20201001180925.13808-5-James.Bottomley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

But it's part of a series that never went upstream.  Part of the reason
was Jarkko proposed the get/put patch to fix this instead, but that
never went upstream either.  We need to decide an approach and apply
one or other fixes.
