This issue has been observed on grunt and sona so far.

The issue can be worked around by running tpm2_clear from the tpm2-tools package before running the tests, however that solution is not acceptable upstream. So the root cause of the issue might need to be investigated so that a proper solution can be sent upstream.

Old issue. (also we are not tracking kernel test failure/issues through GitHub anymore)
