Yes it is used by ChromeOS code which is not upstream at present.

We cannot call tpm_sendrecv_command() from a TPM driver..it is in lib/
and that would be a violation of the software layers. This is a TPM2
command, even if it is specific to cr50.

Nothing special, but this allows the ChromeOS code to build correctly.
I could also add a command to use it, if that helps?
