From: Lino Sanfilippo <l.sanfilippo@xxxxxxxxxx> In tpm2_del_space() the sessions are flushed by means of the tpm_chip operations. However the concerning operations pointer my already be NULL at this time in case that the chip has been unregistered (see tpm_chip_unregister() which calls tpm_del_char_device() which sets chip->ops to NULL). Before accessing chip->ops check if it is still valid. Skip flushing the sessions in this case.
