commit f759546498d820670934c901a2fdf1ce948d2e5c upstream.

Chromebooks (at least Acer C720 and Pixel) implement an ACPI object
for TPM, but don't implement the _DSM method to support PPI. As
a result, the TPM driver fails to load on those machines after
commit 1569a4c4ceba (ACPI / TPM: detect PPI features by checking
availability of _DSM functions) which causes them to fail to
resume from system suspend, becuase they require the TPM hardware
to be put into the right state during resume and the TPM driver
is necessary for that.

Fix the problem by making tpm_add_ppi() return 0 when tpm_ppi_handle
is still NULL after walking the ACPI namespace in search for the PPI
_DSM, which allows the TPM driver to load and operate the hardware
(during system resume in particular), but avoid creating the PPI
sysfs group in that case.

This change is based on a prototype patch from Jiang Liu.

Fixes: 1569a4c4ceba (ACPI / TPM: detect PPI features by checking availability of _DSM functions)
