It is complaining about __exitcall here, because there is a module_exit() call
in drivers/char/tpm/tpm-interface.c already and the two files are build into the same object.
It is strange that the problem only manifests itself when cross compiling with ARCH=i386. Native 64bit build works fine.
I will simply call the tpm_dev_common_exit() from the tpm_exit() and re-spin a v3.
Thanks again for the report.
