Anything kernel level can theoretically modify anything in your TPM too, so Linux programs that use it (admittedly I'm not sure any user program use it) could be manipulated in weird ways
In what ways? The worst it could do to the TPM directly is invalidate your secure boot unless I'm missing something.
for me that's enough of an inconvenience to wash my hands of the whole dual-booting scenario.
