No.

I have added the author of the commit to Cc, maybe they can help?

The immediate question is, is it expected for chip->ops to be NULL in
this path? Obviously on actual AMD systems that isn't the case,
otherwise the code would crash there. But is the fact that chip->ops is
NULL a bug in the ibmvtpm driver, or a possibility that has been
overlooked by the checking code.

cheers
