Subject[PATCH] fTPM: make sure TEE is initialized before fTPM
Date
For built-in drivers, the order of initialization function invocation is
determined by their link order.

The original code linked TPM drivers before TEE driver when they were
both built in. That caused fTPM's initialization to be deferred to a
worker thread instead of running on PID 1.

That is problematic because IMA's initialization routine, which runs on
PID 1 as a late initcall, needs to have access to the default TPM
instance. If fTPM's initialization is deferred, IMA will not be able to
get hold of a TPM instance in time.

Fix this by modifying Makefile to make sure TEE is initialized before
fTPM when they are both built in.
