I did test as well with a DeveloperBox, i can confirm the driver is loading (but
i have no fTPM support on the OP-TEE side for now)

[    5.109703] ftpm-tee: probe of tpm@0 failed with error -22


The error -22 is nice since the probe eventually failed (no fTPM support in
secure world). Can we slightly change the
'ftpm_tee_probe:tee_client_open_context failed' and indicate this is not a real
error since the probe gets deferred untill Secure world is alive?

By the way there is *real* interest for this functionality. I expect to run it
on a number of Arm boards once i get some free time.
