I meant - can IMA return a status code from it's init routine such that
it gets called back when a TPM device shows up. And, at that point
continue the initialization.
Similar to how a driver for Device A would indicate it's dependency on
the availability of a Device B. I am not sure if such a thing is
possible with IMA.
