This looks reasonable to me.  We need to note that this will make the
startup command with 'SU_STATE' argument practically unusable.

OTOH the 'SU_STATE' is supposed to be used on a TPM when the hardware goes
to sleep.  But in order to do so you need to shutdown the TPM with TPM_SU_STATE
as well in order to preserve things like the session counter, PCRs that are 
designated to be saved and restored amongst other things.  I doubt we ever
had proper support for that and I don't think U-Boot needs this
functionality at all(??). So
