Not likely. That article is about a firmware TPM that comes with newer
Ryzen processors. Older Ryzens supposedly don't have it. The processor
in my APU2 is a GX-412TC, not a Ryzen at all, and my TPM is a discrete
chip from Infineon. The change in question is supposed to disable the
random number generator only if the TPM lists AMD as its manufacturer.
