   After checking the bisect detailed info, this issue should be related to
   link https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/ZEibZgi8hjfVIBTE@xpf.sh.intel.com/

   And this email's bisect info commit was wrong.
   Because https://github.com/xupengfe/syzkaller_logs/blob/main/230426_132902_tpm_chip_unregister_warning/548eb516ec0f7a484a23a902835899341164b8ea_dmesg.log
   Tested problem commit 548eb516ec which should trigger this issue, but it
   met stuck issue as follow and didn't find the problem dmesg info.
"
[   36.521619] tpm tpm2: Operation Canceled
[   36.536390] tpm tpm0: Operation Canceled
[   36.550622] tpm tpm1: Operation Canceled
[   36.597232] tpm tpm3: Operation Canceled
[   36.631157] tpm tpm4: Operation Canceled
[   36.634093] tpm tpm5: Operation Canceled
[   36.639222] tpm tpm6: Operation Canceled
[   36.648086] tpm tpm5: Operation Canceled
[   36.652523] tpm tpm6: Operation Canceled
[   36.660375] tpm tpm5: Operation Canceled
"
  And then the bisect was wrong.

  When do double check step, reverted the commit on top of the kernel, it met
  the same stuck issue accidently again and gave the wrong conclusion:
  https://github.com/xupengfe/syzkaller_logs/blob/main/230426_132902_tpm_chip_unregister_warning/591f7c2026cba9889839a16a1a3579c38ad6234f_c3985d8b9c224b359851f0a521ad25a83db6bdca_revert_dmesg.log
"
[   36.813933] tpm tpm0: Operation Canceled
[   36.819376] tpm tpm1: Operation Canceled
[   36.827303] tpm tpm2: Operation Canceled
[   36.832653] tpm tpm2: Operation Canceled
[   36.851290] tpm tpm4: Operation Canceled
[   36.852480] tpm tpm5: Operation Canceled

[   36.912134] tpm tpm6: Operation Canceled
[   36.920819] tpm tpm6: Operation Canceled
"
  So the issue was not related to commit: "tpm: st33zp24: Mark ACPI and OF
  related data as maybe unused", sorry for inconvience!
  And the issue was fixed by Jarkko and here is the link:
  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230426185833.289868-1-jarkko@kernel.org/

  Thanks Jarkko's fixed patch!

  Thanks!
