This was meant for 5.12 but the timing was *way* too early. I'll take this one back. Just to unambiguity reasons I'll use tpmdd-next-v5.12-rc1-v2 tag for my final v5.12 PR, once I send it. I considered a bit, and I really think that it would make a lot of sense to do a late 5.11 just containing the two commits from James, namely: 1. tpm_tis: Fix check_locality for correct locality acquisition 2. tpm_tis: Clean up locality release James: Does this make sense to you? > Linus /Jarkko
