Looking at the TCG ACPI Specification today, it looks like there are major changes to the
TCPA table. There is a whole bunch of new stuff after the Log Area Start Address.
Perhaps I missed or didn't get part of your proposed change.

If you want to keep it, it's fine for me but we still probably use the
internal structure for it in tpm_crb driver (as tpm_tis uses internal
structure for CRB).
Do other updates look fine? I'm looking into migrating to tpm_crb driver
to use actbl3.h.
