Subject: [PATCH v6 02/11] KEYS: trusted: Open code tpm2_buf_append()

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

tpm2_buf_append_auth() has a single call site and most of its parameters
are redundant. Open code it to the call site so that less cross-referencing
is required while browsing the source code.
