Hi Kai, Kenneth, and Mimi - could one or two of you please follow these
steps:

1) Apply the proposed patch in the grandparent of this email so that
   your kernel doesn't crash
2) Revert commit 7f3d176f5f7e ("tpm: Require that all digests are
   present in TCG_PCR_EVENT2 structures") so that
   __calc_tpm2_event_size() goes back to being less picky and may treat
   a final log event as a valid event log header
3) Add some debugging warnings in efi_tpm_eventlog_init() to check for
   an empty main event log and a populated final event log, as shown
   below
4) Boot the resulting kernel build, look for the warnings, and report
   back

For your convenience, I've created a branch with these changes on top of
v5.9:

 https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tyhicks/linux.git/log/?h=tpm/bin-bios-measurements-debug

Thank you!
