There is an annoying depedency between firmware side optee and TAs, and kernel optee driver,
tee-supplicant in userspace and kernel TA drivers like fTPM.

Kernel fTPM driver and fTPM TA require tee-supplicant in userspace for RPMB, RPC etc.

This patch series is adding kernel side support for RPMB handling so that the dependency to
tee-supplicant in userspace can be removed. For fTPM use case, there is still the optee RPC
buffer setup which currently requires tee-supplicant in userspace or fTPM TA will panic.

So yes, currently, tee-supplicant must be started. But it would be great if kernel drivers
and firmware optee trusted applications would not depend on tee-supplicant running in userspace.
The startup sequence is really tricky to get right. My fTPM use case is using the TPM device
to encrypt rootfs and thus all SW components including tee-supplicant need to run early in
initramfs. Currently also switch from initramfs to main rootfs requires unloading
fTPM kernel driver and stopping tee-supplicant in initrd, and then starting tee-supplicant
and loading fTPM kernel driver from main rootfs. udev and automatic module loading for
fTPM can not be used due to the tee-supplicant userspace dependency.

As an example, here is v6 of this series on rockpi4b using fTPM TA with systemd based initrd
without tee-supplicant and fTPM TA panics because the RPC setup is missing:

This series adds the RPMB support in kernel, if HW supports it, but some HW doesn't and the
tee-supplicant is emulating it as fall back. Userspace needs to know if tee-supplicant start
is needed. Thus to me, exporting the RPMB routing details is useful for userspace.

It's one thing to have a full control of HW and SW and force a policy, like always
waiting for a specific TPM device to appear, but then again distros should be able
to have automatic detection of TPM devices if firmware used them too and then
start the needed bits in userspace, which depend on the firmware and HW configuration,
like which SW components are needed for RPMB storage, kernel or tee-supplicant in userspace.

These could possibly be just bugs in fTPM kernel driver and fTPM TA in optee world,
which should be able to handle missing RPC and RPMB too and retry later on. Right now
without tee-supplicant they panic early in boot and become unusable for the rest of the
power cycle.
