In the past I have seen errors on systems which do not have
libtss2/tpm2-tss installed though I am not sure if those should be
silenced. After all, the unit being enabled means that one wants to
use it if possible - and if the libraries are missing that should be
noticeable to the user instead of a silent fail.

@Morten Which distribution are you using and do you have the above
libraries installed (or whatever they are called in your distro)?
