 system

Hello,

[First: Apologies if cross-posting from Kernel.org BZ is bad form; my distro BZ advised I post this to your mailing list as well.]

Situation: enabling TPM on a Clevo W510LU with an Intel N3160 CPU breaks PS/2 keyboard and mouse. They just don't respond until after a suspend/resume cycle, and after that they later stop after a while.

I have confirmed this by blacklisting tpm modules. I noticed this first with kernel 4.13, and have bisected it down to:

5e572cab92f0bb56ca1e6e5ee4d807663a7ccbad is the first bad commit

    tpm: Enable CLKRUN protocol for Braswell systems
    
    To overcome a hardware limitation on Intel Braswell systems,
    disable CLKRUN protocol during TPM transactions and re-enable
    once the transaction is completed.
