That was a great catch. Thank you.

This function is only confusing indirection anyway. Does not serve
really any justifiable purpose.

I manually added the changes to:

  tpm: replace dynamically allocated bios_dir with a static array

The code was changed so radically after that patch so it was the
cleanest way.

I need to declare 'rc' in that patch.  I changed also this "int rc = 0;"
to "int rc;" as it does not need to be initialized in the declaration.
This affects:

  tpm: have event log use the tpm_chip

And finally I needed the update this patch too to accomadate the doc
change:

  tpm: Fix handling of missing event log

Could you check through those patches that I didn't blow things up,
which could easily happen given that I needed to update three patches
and give your final reviewed-by if it looks good to you?

In the meanwhile I'll start running sparse, coccicheck etc. for the
release content.
