tpm-tis device for ARM virt

Hi All, I received a private bug report that starting a VM with swtpm device fails with qemu-system-aarch64. The VM config has <tpm model='tpm-tis'> <backend type='emulator' version='2.0'/> </tpm> QEMU reports the following error error: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: 2021-02-07T05:15:35.378927Z qemu-system-aarch64: -device tpm-tis,tpmdev=tpm-tpm0,id=tpm0: 'tpm-tis' is not a valid device model name Indeed it appears the device name is 'tpm-tis-device' [1][2] for ARM virt. The similar yet different device naming between x86 and ARM is unfortunate. IIUC, the devices are the same between the architectures, i.e. they both emulate a TPM device conforming to the TIS spec. If so, adding a 'tpm-tis-device' to virDomainTPMModel seems redundant. I assume the naming difference should be handled internally, e.g. something like the below patch to qemuBuildTPMDevStr? I can send a proper patch if this is an acceptable approach.
