TPM: ACPI/PNP dependency removal
This patch pushes the ACPI dependency into the device driver code
itself. Now, even without ACPI/PNP enabled, the device can be registered
using the TIS specified memory space. This will however result in the
lack of access to the BIOS event log, being the only implication of such
ACPI removal.
