Hello Stefan,

I would go for the first option. I think it makes easier to work with.

At some point I'll bring the TPM 2 patches back to life following the many 
recent changes... Now my question is how to organize the code. 
Should there be one file where we essentially have the above type of code 
branching into TPM 1.2 & TPM 2 specific functions and TPM 1.2 and TPM 2 code in 
separate files or the above type of functions at the end of the current file 
and then a section with TPM 1.2 code and another with TPM 2? It's a few patches 
building on top of each other, so want to avoid churn...

Cheers!

    Stefan
