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

Since bugzilla is not part of the documented process afaik, I used this field as the guideline:
Reported: 2023-08-17 20:59 UTC by Todd Brandt
How otherwise I should interpret kernel bugzilla?
How is the proper process to add more than one reporter (so they are noted and also added to CC), so that checkpatch.pl does not complain?
Kind regards,
Paul
In any case new version is still needed as the commit message must contain a mention of "Lenovo Legion Y540" as the stimulus for doing this code change in the first place.
