The vendor check introduced by commit 554b841d4703 ("tpm: Disable RNG for all AMD fTPMs") doesn't work properly on Intel fTPM. The TPM doesn't reply at bootup and returns back the command code.
Is this reproducible with any production hardware? You are stating it as it was reproducible categorically with any Intel fTPM.
Yes, it's affecting production hardware too. Someone came to the kernel bugzilla and reported a regression on 6.4.11 on a Lenovo Intel laptop as well.
Now the description says that cateogrically all Intel fTPM's fail.
According to Todd this change caused 5 *different* reference Intel systems all to fail. I know they're not production hardware, but still..
For what it's worth, I can confirm that this issue also occurs on an ASUS Z170I motherboard with Intel i3 7100U and an integrated fTPM. If it helps I'm happy to try out the proposed patch -- for now I simply reverted 554b841d4703 ("tpm: Disable RNG for all AMD fTPMs"), which resolved the issue for me.
