Looks like the manual driver bind works more or less but e.g reading hwrng does
not work...

# echo MSFT0101:00 >/sys/bus/platform/drivers/tpm_tis/bind
[  148.293302] tpm_tis MSFT0101:00: 2.0 TPM (device-id 0xFE, rev-id 2)
# cat /sys/devices/virtual/misc/hw_random/rng_current
tpm-rng-0
# cat /dev/hwrng >/dev/null 
cat: /dev/hwrng: Operation not permitted
