In case a TPM in failure mode is detected, the TPM should be accessible
through a transparent communication channel for analysing purposes (e.g.
TPM_GetTestResult) or a field upgrade. Since a TPM in failure mode has
similar reduced functionality as in field upgrade mode, the flag
TPM_CHIP_FLAG_FIRMWARE_UPGRADE is also valid.
As described in TCG TPM Main Part1 Design Principles, Revision 116,
chapter 9.2.1. the TPM also allows an update function in case a TPM is
in failure mode.
If the TPM in failure mode is detected, the function tpm1_auto_startup()
sets TPM_CHIP_FLAG_FIRMWARE_UPGRADE flag, which is used later during
driver initialization/deinitialization to disable functionality which
makes no sense or will fail in the current TPM state. The following
functionality is affected:
* Do not register TPM as a hwrng
* Do not get pcr allocation
* Do not register sysfs entries which provide information impossible to
obtain in limited mode
