Subject: noisy fwupd error messages with (disabled) TPM 1.2
Date: Mon, 10 Jan 2022 15:12:12 +0100
Package: fwupd
Version: 1.5.7-4

fwupd[150732]: ERROR:sys:src/tss2-sys/api/Tss2_Sys_Execute.c:110:Tss2_Sys_ExecuteFinish() Unsupported device. The device is a TPM 1.2
fwupd[150732]: ERROR:esys:src/tss2-esys/api/Esys_Startup.c:216:Esys_Startup_Finish() Received a non-TPM Error
fwupd[150732]: ERROR:esys:src/tss2-esys/api/Esys_Startup.c:78:Esys_Startup() Esys Finish ErrorCode (0x00080001)
fwupd[150732]: 05:40:45:0110 FuEngine             failed to add device (null): failed to initialize TPM

The hardware is what it is (old, vendor no longer provides BIOS updates, fwupd may still be useful for firmware updates on peripherals), but surely fwupd could be handling this more elegantly?

Possibly relevant information from the kernel on this system:

kernel: [   10.755156] tpm_tis 00:07: 1.2 TPM (device-id 0xB, rev-id 16)
kernel: [   10.803696] tpm tpm0: TPM is disabled/deactivated (0x7)

Package: fwupd
Version: 1.7.4-1
Followup-For: Bug #1003457

Dear Maintainer,

And also by the way without TPM at all:

[    1.278203] ima: No TPM chip found, activating TPM-bypass!

fwupd[2813]: 17:27:38:0894 FuPluginTpm          failed to load eventlog: Failed
to open file "/sys/kernel/security/tpm0/binary_bios_measurements": No such file
or directory

Thanks!
Patrice
