Add newly registered TPMs to the tail of the list, not the beginning, so that
things that are specifying TPM_ANY_NUM don't find that the device they're
using has inadvertently changed.  Adding a second device would break IMA, for
instance.

We really should apply this patch...

Use "tpm" instead of "TPM" in the short summary.

Usually I add Cc-tag before signed-off-by's (and have the first c in
upper case).

Peter's singed-off-by should be accompanied with a co-developed-by tag
if he has participated to the development of this commit.

As far as I see signed-off-by without co-developed-by makes sense in two
occasions:

* You own the subsystem tree i.e. you have to sign the changes that you
  include part of your pull request.
* You are the initial authoer of the change.

I would add here a comment just as a remainder.

I remember this patch, because it affected IMA.  It has already been
upstreamed as 398a1e71dc82.
