I think the 2nd fix is to set TPM_OPS_AUTO_STARTUP also for the ibmvtpm 
driver like the following patch on top of this one, but after more testing:

Subject: [PATCH] tpm: ibmvtpm: Set TPM_OPS_AUTO_STARTUP flag for
  initialization

Set the TPM_OPS_AUTO_STARTUP flag for using common initialization code.
The difference between the old initialization and the new one is that
for TPM 1.2 tpm1_do_selftest and for TPM 2 tpm2_do_selftest will be called.
