The struct tpm_class_ops is not used outside the TPM driver. Thus,
it can be safely move to drivers/char/tpm/tpm.h.

No, this is the wrong direction.

The goal is to make things more like other subsystems, so we should be
moving struct tpm_chip into the public header, and that requires ops
to be in the public header.

This is why I put ops here in the first place.

I'm OK with it as long as you explain why this is necessary. I see no
use for them outside the TPM subsystem.

That is because the users out side the subsystem are Doing it Wrong.

eg this:

 extern int tpm_is_tpm2(u32 chip_num);

Should be:

 extern int tpm_is_tpm2(struct tpm_chip *chip);

And same for all other examples.

The 'chip_num' thing is bonkers.

OK, how would one get the chip instance?

This still doesn't explain why moving the structures inside the driver
would be wrong. Even if outside callers would use a pointer the
structure could be opaque.

Most subsystems have a get function that returns a kref'd pointer. For
TPM all we really need today is a 'get_default_tpm_for_ns' kind of
function.

For instance, if we did a get function then the 'put' function would
be an inline around dev_put and that needs to see inside the chip.

This is a well trodden pattern in the kernel, there is no reason to do
something different for tpm.

Sorry, but I have no idea what you are talking about.

This does not imply that these structure definitions need to be in
include/linux/tpm.h since you are talking something that does not exist.

I do not see any get/put functionality in include/linux/tpm.h.

Go look at how rtc or net work.

Well, I've been slowly pushing tpm to be more like a standard subystem
for a long time - not all the parts are there yet. A standard
subsystem will have a get/put scheme for tpm_chip.

So, yes, it does not exist, but you should be planning for it to exist
someday..
