Description
Came across this kernel panic when doing a TPM reset using blank passwords. I was just experimenting after a fresh flash and came across this. Not really something that needs to be fixed as the process to cause it shouldn't be done but figured I'd report it regardless.
Not sure how to dump the logs so here's an image of what I see:
Cause Panic:
1) Clean Boot Detection Prompt > Cancel
2) Ignore error and continue to main menu
3) Options
4) TPM/TOTP/HTOP Options
5) Reset TPM > Yes
6) New TPM owner password:
7) TPM owner password:

Research direction
Reproduce the panic through Clean Boot Detection Prompt, Options, TPM/TOTP/HTOP Options, and Reset TPM with both password prompts blank. Review the attached kernel-panic image and determine what diagnostic output is available; done means this input no longer causes a kernel panic.
