The vendor check introduced by commit 554b841d4703 ("tpm: Disable RNG for all AMD fTPMs") doesn't work properly on a number of Intel fTPMs. On the reported systems the TPM doesn't reply at bootup and returns back the command code. This makes the TPM fail probe.
Since only Microsoft Pluton is the only known combination of AMD CPU and fTPM from other vendor, disable hwrng otherwise. In order to make sysadmin aware of this, print also info message to the klog.

Mario’s patch also had the three reporters below listed:
Reported-by: Patrick Steinhardt ps@pks.im Reported-by: Ronan Pigott ronan@rjp.ie Reported-by: Raymond Jay Golo rjgolo@gmail.com
The problem here is that checkpatch throws three warnings:
WARNING: Reported-by: should be immediately followed by Closes: with a URL to the report #19: Reported-by: Patrick Steinhardt ps@pks.im Reported-by: Ronan Pigott ronan@rjp.ie
WARNING: Reported-by: should be immediately followed by Closes: with a URL to the report #20: Reported-by: Ronan Pigott ronan@rjp.ie Reported-by: Raymond Jay Golo rjgolo@gmail.com
WARNING: Reported-by: should be immediately followed by Closes: with a URL to the report #21: Reported-by: Raymond Jay Golo rjgolo@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Jarkko Sakkinen jarkko@kernel.org
FWIW I observed the same checkpatch warning when I submitted my version of the patch. I figured it's better to ignore the warning and attribute everyone who reported the issue affected them.
OK so:
1. checkpatch.pl is part of the kernel process. 2. Bugzilla is not part of the kernel process.
Why emphasis on 1?
BR, Jarkko
