Nice!  Being able to read the TPM 2.0 PCRs, without requiring a TSS,
will really simplify regression testing - re-calculating the IMA
"boot_aggregate" and verifying the IMA measurement list.

With the following code snippet all of the PCRs for all the exported
TPM banks are displayed, but unfortunately the digests are not ordered
or prefixed with the PCR.

banks=$(echo -n $(ls -d /sys/class/tpm/tpm0/pcr-*))

for bank in ${banks[@]}; do
        echo "$bank:"
        find "${bank}/" -type f -exec cat {} \;
        echo " "
done

Either this code snippet needs to be fixed or, perhaps, instead of
returning just the digest, the digest could be prefixed with the PCR
number (eg. PCR-00:<digest>).

FYI, with this patch on a system with TPM 1.2, IMA goes into TPM-
bypass mode.

From dmesg (with some extra debugging):
tpm_chip_register: tpm_add_legacy_sysfs failed
tpm_tis: probe of 00:05 failed with error -2
