The TIS is also using it on any device.
static const struct tpm_class_ops tpm_tis = {
.flags = TPM_OPS_AUTO_STARTUP,
.status = tpm_tis_status,

Yes, there's supposed to be firmware.
I only see one caller to tpm2_get_cc_attrs_tbl(chip), which is necessary
to call. This caller happens to be in tpm2_auto_startup.
