I've the same device as Jeremy, but I just tried a 4.16-rc3 kernel and I'm not seeing this problem, BIOS settings all default (I loaded the BIOS defaults to make sure).

This is a really cheap Windows tablet which was given away for free in the Netherlands with some home-schooling language courses, or something similar.
Both mine and Jeremy tablets come from a website in the Netherlands where people can buy/sell used goods.
Most relevant for this discussion I guess is that this device is based on a Bay Trail Z3735G SoC, on which according to the internets: https://embedded.communities.intel.com/thread/7868
The TPM 2.0 it contains is implemented as part of the TXE firmware.
Since I cannot reproduce I'm thinking that maybe Jeremy actually has some log messages in the TPM log, where as mine is empty. Is there a way to make sure some messages are in there?
Regards,
Hans
