Please, write in imperative ("Change...").
Also exlicitly state how are you changing the check for
tpm_read_log_acpi() in tpm_read_log().
You could *even* have a snippet how the checks change

This paragraph should not be part of the commit message.
Rest of the commit message made sense can you add also fixes tag
as this is clearly a bug fix?
Also, please remove the two spurious diff's from the commit that
