From: Stefan Berger <stefanb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 9716ac65efc8f780549b03bddf41e60c445d4709 upstream. Avoid allocating memory and reading the host log when a virtual device is used since this log is of no use to that driver. A virtual device can be identified through the flag TPM_CHIP_FLAG_VIRTUAL, which is only set for the tpm_vtpm_proxy driver.
