If "resume" means: from the sleep state where the platform suspends to 
RAM and there is no OS reboot, that's

Shutdown(STATE) followed by Startup(STATE).

The TPM 2.0 specifications use the key word "TPM Resume".

Thank you for the quick reply. As this is during resume, could you 
please point me to documentation, what is expected for resume from the 
firmware?


Kind regards,
