What if the guest isn’t configured with a TPM device? It seems a bit dodgy to advertise a non-existent device in the BIOS tables.

This patch adds a TPM TIS type of device to the ACPI device list which
is supported for example by the Linux TPM TIS driver.
The specification describing this entry can be found here:

Section 9 in the document describes the device entry.
