Could you please test out the patch I proposed for this:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-integrity/1302b413a2d7bf3b275133e7fdb04b44bfe2d5e3.camel@HansenPartnership.com/

Because it's not just tmp_ibmvtpm that doesn't call autostart.  From
inspection xen-tpmfront, tmp_nsc, tpm_infineon and tpm_atmel also
don't, so it would be better to fix this for everyone rather than just
for you and have to do a separate fix for each of them.
