Aren't TPM2 devices still available as small microcontrollers connected
to the main processor over i2c/spi? I've seen ARM boards with such
TPM1.2 devices, and I think Thomas mentioned an ARM board with a TPM2
device connected over SPI.
In general, unless there is a build time dependency on architecture
specific files or the package is very specific to a SoC or board I
prefer to not hide packages, even if it is unlikely to be used on other
architectures.
So I think we should remove the dependencies from tpm2-tss.
