I actually tried this with CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CC_PLATFORM off yesterday but got
below error:

$ make -j$(nproc)

Rename the local variable 'cc_mask' in drivers/char/tpm/tpm2-cmd.c fix the
build, but I think the real issue is the 'cc_mask' in asm/coco.h is too common
to be a global visible variable/macro.
