Bug#873187: linux-image-amd64: Missing tpm_tis module
Package: linux-image-amd64
Version: 4.9+80+deb9u1
Severity: normal
Hi,
I find that the tpm_tis.ko module is missing in all kernel packages
since 4.9.0-3 (which is the version in Debian 9 installers and the
security archive). This includes all more recent kernels that I've
tried from unstable.
It was present in 4.9.0-2 which makes me wonder if it was removed due
to some last minute security problem before the release of Debian 9.
However this is a severe problem for users of the 2013 Chromebook
Pixel as there was a firmware bug that means suspend/resume doesn't
work unless the tpm chip has been initialized by the module. In other
words suspend/resume is broken on the 2013 Pixel ever since 4.9.0-3
but worked fine previously.
I can't find an existing bug about tpm_tis or any mention of it on the
list. Perhaps this was done unintentionally?
