SubjectRe: [PATCH 1/1] tpm: disable hwrng for fTPM on some AMD designs
From
I was following the issue under or discord channel ROG for Linux and 
helping out some other users with it by shipping a kernel for Arch with
disabled CONFIG_HW_RANDOM_TPM as the default recommend kernel for Arch
for ROG laptops (as my device isn't affect by it because it is Ryzen
4800HS).

I know it was discussed here
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217212#c16 against allowing
the user to disable fTPM to be used as a random source via a boot time
parameter but I still I disagree with it.

Linux does have a parameter `random.trust_cpu` to control the random
source from CPU, why they can not be a parameter like
`random.trust_ftpm` (or `random.trust_tpm`)?

It might be my limited knowledge of this topic but to me it feels like
if they is a trust_cpu then Linux should have trust_ftpm too.
