As simple as possible. A single sysfs file is enough. Even the existence of the sysfs file
could be the needed indicator for userspace to queue tee-supplicant startup.
Outside of these patches, I think the optee RPC setup with fTPM TA is one area which
currently requires tee-supplicant to be started. Detecting the existence of TPM before
kernel drivers are loaded is possible via the exported EFI logs from firmware to kernel
or ACPI TPM2 table entry, and detecting optee and thus starting tee-supplicant in userspace too.
In userspace and systemd it's just important to know that service need to wait for a TPM2
device to appear in early initrd and when can things be postponed to main rootfs and later
stages. Kernel and udev will bring up the device then once discovered.
Knowledge about the RPMB backend is important when something like TPM2 device
depends on it.
Hope this helps,
