Patch 1 updates the tpm driver to compare HMAC values in constant time. Patch 2 simplifies the HMAC computation in the tpm driver by using the library API instead of an open-coded HMAC implementation. Note that this depends on the HMAC library API that was merged for v6.17-rc1.
Changed in v2: - Updated commit message of patch 1 to no longer characterize it as a fix. Explained why the side channel seems to have been benign.
