Hello Stefan,

I would go for the first option. I think it makes easier to work with.


Best Regards,

At some point I'll bring the TPM 2 patches back to life following the many recent changes... Now my question is how to organize the code. 
Should there be one file where we essentially have the above type of code branching into TPM 1.2 & TPM 2 specific functions and TPM 1.2 and TPM 2 code in separate files or the above type of functions at the end of the current file and then a section with TPM 1.2 code and another with TPM 2? It's a few patches building on top of each other, so want to avoid churn...

Cheers!
