Thank you so much for reviewing the code.  Please see my reply below.

This is the case where the event log is not available. I agree it does not
look clean.  I'm thinking of moving tpm_noeventlog into header file to
eliminate this file.

I just realized that it does not need to call of_find_node_by_name() 
here because if ibm,vtpm is not there it does not go to probe. Thanks
for pointing this out.

This is called during load and unload of the driver. I'll remove the call to
of_find_node_by_name() in next version.  See above.

Nice catch!!! I will fix other places in the code in the next
version.

Will move this to header file. Thanks.

I'll fix it in next version.  Thanks.
