While looking at this, I wanted to verify that chips are still added to
the tail of the tpm_chip_list.  Unfortunately, commit "afb5abc tpm:
two-phase chip management functions" reverted David Howell's commit
"770ab65 TPM: Add new TPMs to the tail of the list to prevent
inadvertent change of dev".

If the first TPM registered is a TPM 1.2, then changing the default TPM
2.0 hash algorithm will fail.
