Fair point, the failing sandbox tests are not a reason on their own, and I am happy to rework them if we go the probe route. The real-world case behind this patch is a plain booti/bootm without MEASURED_BOOT or EFI: nothing probes the TPM, so Linux finds it not started. Starting it in probe only helps if something also probes it during init, e.g. via DM_FLAG_PROBE_AFTER_BIND or an event like this one. I am fine with either direction and will wait for Ilias to decide before sending v2. Regards, Michael
