Hi Ashley,

What does it mean to build tpm_eventlog and tpm_noeventlog ?

This should be a static inline, with the ifdefs inside.

How often is this called? of_find_node_by_name() is not particularly
efficient. It might be better to search once and save a flag indicating
whether you found it.

Also you must call of_node_put() on the result of
of_find_node_by_name(), so at the least you must do:

struct device_node *np;
np = of_find_node_by_name(NULL, "ibm,vtpm");
of_node_put(np);
return (np != NULL);

Wouldn't it be simpler to put this in a header with the appropriate
ifdefs, and then you'd need less logic in the Makefile?

All your return paths below here must call of_node_put(np).
