This patch try to fix the S3 regression https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/5/433,
which includes below line:
[ 1554.684638] sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/pnp0/00:0c/ppi'
The root cause is that ppi sysfs teardown code is MIA, so while S3 resume,
the ppi kobject will be created again upon existing one.
To make the tear down code simple, change the ppi subfolder creation from
using kobject_create_and_add to just using a named ppi attribute_group. Then
ppi sysfs teardown could be done with a simple sysfs_remove_group call.
Adjusted the name & return type for ppi sysfs init function.

The Physical Presence Interface enables the OS and the BIOS to cooperate and
provides a simple and straightforward platform user experience for
administering the TPM without sacrificing security.
V2: separate the patch out in a separate source file,
add #ifdef CONFIG_ACPI so it compiles out on ppc,
use standard error instead of ACPI error as return code of show/store fns.
V3: move #ifdef CONFIG_ACPI from .c file to .h file.
V4: move tpm_ppi code from tpm module to tpm_bios module.
V5: modify sys_add_ppi() so that ppi_attr_grp doesn't need to be exported
