Title:
  "error: Unknown TPM error." after upgrading to grub 2.04

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After upgrading to eoan today (via `do-release-upgrade -d`), my laptop
  failed to boot into the OS. I got the grub 2.04 screen (showing only
  Ubuntu), but selecting that gave me about 20 lines of "error: Unknown
  TPM error.", followed by "error: you need to load the kernel first"
  and no way to proceed/recover. Advanced options didn't work either.
  Dropping into the grub console and writing a simple command like `set
  root=(hd1,gpt5)` failed again with a TPM error. It goes without saying
  that booting had worked before with disco/grub 2.02.

  As a workaround, I eventually managed to boot using an eoan live CD,
  chroot'ed into my system, added the `disco main` repo, and forcefully
  downgraded to disco's 2.02. After reinstalling grub to the efi
  partition, booting finally worked again (with grub 2.02).
