The measurements for confidential computing has been introduced in the
commit
4c76565b6 (efi/tpm: Add EFI_CC_MEASUREMENT_PROTOCOL support).
Recently the patch
30708dfe3 (tpm: Disable the tpm verifier if the TPM
device is not present) has been introduced to optimize the memory usage
when a TPM device is not available on platforms. This fix prevents the
tpm module to be loaded on confidential computing platforms, e.g. Intel
machines with TDX enabled, where the TPM device is not available.
In this patch, we propose to load the tpm module for this use case by
generalizing the tpm feature detection in order to cover CC platforms.
Basically, we do it by detecting the availability of the
EFI_CC_MEASUREMENT_PROTOCOL EFI protocol.
