The change added to tpm to GENERIC and enabled entropy harvesting by
default.  Users have reported that resume from S3 fails whenever tpm is
compiled in the kernel, no matter whether or not harvesting is
configured.

Yes, see the bugzilla link.  I noticed that we don't disable the
harvester when suspending, so I wrote a patch to do that, see D53835.
Apparently it's not sufficient.  I suspect we have to do more and
reinitialize the tpm firmware when resuming, but I don't have time right
now to look further.
