Hi,

>specify tpm_tis.force=1 or not?
Depends on his hardware -- most "physical" TPMs are FIFO, firmware based are 
CRB.

However, tpm_tis != tpm_crb, these are separate drivers. (tpm_crb might even be 
backport-able to previous versions, as a module)
so if no /dev/tpm0 appears, try tpm_tis.force=1

> Or can that be specified any time, and it becomes a noop for CRB?
Yes, if no /dev/tpm0 appears, try tpm_tis.force=1

Yes, exactly.

Thanks,
Peter
