In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tpm: do not start chip while suspended

Checking TPM_CHIP_FLAG_SUSPENDED after the call to tpm_find_get_ops() can
lead to a spurious tpm_chip_start() call:

Don't move forward with tpm_chip_start() inside tpm_try_get_ops(), unless
TPM_CHIP_FLAG_SUSPENDED is not set. tpm_find_get_ops() will return NULL in
such a failure case.
