SubjectRe: [PATCH 0/4] tpm: fix PS/2 devices not working on Braswell systems due CLKRUN enabled

Now we are back to the beginning - the LPC_CLKRUN protocol is simply
broken in BSW chipsets, and it has nothing to do with the TPM?

Intel is trying to work around that broken-ness and still preserve
power management in the case where only the TPM is connected to the
LPC bus.. It is questionable to me if this is even a good idea, or if
Linux is the right place to implement this work around (eg something
in SMM mode may be more appropriate for a chipset bug)

I think your patch is still the right improvement, if the BIOS turned
the feature off, we should not turn it back on.
