tpm_buf_append_name() has the following snippet in the beginning:
if (!tpm2_chip_auth(chip)) { tpm_buf_append_u32(buf, handle); /* count the number of handles in the upper bits of flags */ buf->handles++; return; }
The claim in the comment is wrong, and the comment is in the wrong place as it should not be anyway a concern of the "call site". So in essence it is lying about the code.
Fix the alignment to be aligned with the claim in the comment and remove the comment.
