This is preparation for making the tpm module multi-file. kbuild does
not like having a .c file with the same name as a module. We wish to
keep the tpm module name so that userspace doesn't see this change.

tpm-interface.c is chosen because the next several commits in the series
migrate items into tpm-sysfs.c, tpm-dev.c and tpm-class.c. All that will
be left is tpm command processing and interfacing code.

If that's true, and I don't believe it is,
then Kbuild should be fixed instead.

There are a lot of examples of .c files named
the same as the directory they reside in.

For example:

drivers/net/ethernet/myricom/myri10ge/myri10ge.ko

$ find drivers -type d  | while read file ; do if [ -f $file/$(basename $file).c ] ; then echo $file ; fi ; done

That isn't the trouble, it is having a module named tpm, comprised of
tpm.c, tpm-foo.c, and tpm-bar.c

The issue is that assembling the tpm module uses tpm.o as an
intermediate file, and compiling tmp.c uses tpm.o as a intermediate
file - they conflict, things don't work right and make throws a
circular dependency warning.

The Makefile I started with looks like this:

obj-m += tpm.o
tpm-y := tpm.o tpm-foo.o tpm-bar.o

Is there some other solution?

In any event, this patch is part of a series that splits tpm.c up,
renaming it at this point in the series is to make kbuild work, but
at the end of the series it should be renamed anyhow :)

Regards,
Jason
