Just realized that if we keep tpm_add_legacy_sysfs() intact, it doesn't
create symlinks for tpm2 case for any of the groups, including groups[0].
So, in tpm_sysfs_add_device() can just do smth like:

if (chip->flags & TPM_CHIP_FLAG_TPM2)
chip->groups[chip->groups_cnt++] = &tpm2_dev_group;
else
chip->groups[chip->groups_cnt++] = &tpm_dev_group;

Is that acceptable? Will submit the next version along those lines.

There can be a common code working with tpm1.2 that will just continue
working with tpm2 if the common attributes are in the same place. So, some
part of code can be re-used as is, but I agree that there are not too
many common attributes. Will drop for now. Can be addressed later if
the clear need arises.
