NAK

No new compat symlinks. Only the existing set of links are permitted.

Any new sysfs entries must use only the new location.

Don't add dead code, add this and related in the patch that requires it.

.. and this can't really happen either..

To make things simple you can just have tpm2 not ever create any links
for any files by never using groups[0]. There is no need to try and
create a shared 'tpm_dev_group'.
