Actually I am not sure, I am working with TPM 2 exclusively have no

My idea was to group both Failure and Upgrade mode and call them limited
mode. As functionality of the TPM is limited in both of them. I was
afraid that if I call it upgrade mode and map failure mode into it, it
might get confusing. So please confirm that you prefer to name the flag
as TPM_CHIP_FLAG_UPGRADE_MODE.

Good point, will fix in next patch version.

Different vendors return different error codes here. Some, like STM
return vendor specific ones.

This check is triggered only if TPM is in Failure mode. It is different
from Upgrade mode.
