Decouple kzalloc from buffer creation, so that  a managed allocation can be
done trivially:

        struct tpm_buf *buf __free(kfree) buf = kzalloc(TPM_BUFSIZE,
                                                        ^
In the code, we use PAGE_SIZE instead of TPM_BUFSIZE with kzalloc().
Should we do the same in this example? (Perhaps adding the reason, if you think it would be useful)

                                                        GFP_KERNEL);
        if (!buf)
                return -ENOMEM;
        tpm_buf_init(buf, TPM_BUFSIZE);

Alternatively, stack allocations are also possible:

        u8 buf_data[512];
        struct tpm_buf *buf = (struct tpm_buf *)buf_data;
        tpm_buf_init(buf, sizeof(buf_data));

Is it fine here to remove the intermediate tpm_buf ?

IIUC tpm_transmit_cmd() needs a tpm_buf, while here we are passing just
the "data", or in some way it's a nested tpm_buf?

(Sorry if it's a stupid question, but I'm still a bit new with this code).

The rest LGTM, but it's a huge patch (not your issue at all), so yeah not sure :-)
