Yes, as I said you *validate* the eventlog by looking at the TPM PCRs,
not the other way around.
The problem with the TCG spec is
- EFI_TCG2_PROTOCOL.GetEventLog can only returns either EFI_SUCCESS or
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER. There's no EFI_UNSUPPORTED
- EFI_TCG2_PROTOCOL.HashLogExtendEvent has a flag
(EFI_TCG2_EXTEND_ONLY) which allows you to only extend PCRs and not
log them

But I can't find anywhere in the spec a statement that says "the
eventlog is optional"

Yes, an empty log. Not missing a log overall. Which makes sense if the
TPM is disabled.

Thanks that helps. I'll try to reproduce it with sandbox and/or QEMU
with OF_LIVE and see if I get something.

Thanks
