Subject: [PATCH v7 10/11] tpm-buf: Remove chip parameter from tpm_buf_append_handle

From: Jarkko Sakkinen <jarkko.sakkinen@...nsys.com>

Remove @chip from tpm_buf_append_handle() in order to decouple it from
driver. This allows tpm-buf.c to be compiled as part of early boot code,
thus providing a mechanism to build and parse TPM data.

E.g., Trenchboot can use this to manage TPM2_PcrExtend protocol data as
part of its early boot blob simply by compiling and linking the object
file.
