+What: /sys/class/misc/tpmX/device/
+Date: April 2005
+KernelVersion: 2.6.12
+Contact: tpmdd-devel@lists.sf.net
+Description: The device/ directory under a specific TPM instance exposes
+ the properties of that TPM chip
+
+
+What: /sys/class/misc/tpmX/device/active
+Date: April 2006
+KernelVersion: 2.6.17
+Contact: tpmdd-devel@lists.sf.net
+Description: The "active" property prints a '1' if the TPM chip is accepting
+ commands. An inactive TPM chip still contains all the state of
+ an active chip (Storage Root Key, NVRAM, etc), and can be
+ visible to the OS, but will only accept a restricted set of
+ commands. See the TPM Main Specification part 2, Structures,
+ section 17 for more information on which commands are
+ available.
+
+What: /sys/class/misc/tpmX/device/cancel
+Date: June 2005
+KernelVersion: 2.6.13
+Contact: tpmdd-devel@lists.sf.net
+Description: The "cancel" property allows you to cancel the currently
+ pending TPM command. Writing any value to cancel will call the
+ TPM vendor specific cancel operation.
+
+What: /sys/class/misc/tpmX/device/caps
+Date: April 2005
+KernelVersion: 2.6.12
+Contact: tpmdd-devel@lists.sf.net
+Description: The "caps" property contains TPM manufacturer and version info.
+
+ Example output:
+
+ Manufacturer: 0x53544d20
+ TCG version: 1.2
+ Firmware version: 8.16
+
+ Manufacturer is a hex dump of the 4 byte manufacturer info
+ space in a TPM. TCG version shows the TCG TPM spec level that
+ the chip supports. Firmware version is that of the chip and
+ is manufacturer specific.
+
+What: /sys/class/misc/tpmX/device/durations
+Date: March 2011
+KernelVersion: 3.1
+Contact: tpmdd-devel@lists.sf.net
+Description: The "durations" property shows the 3 vendor-specific values
+ used to wait for a short, medium and long TPM command. All
+ TPM commands are categorized as short, medium or long in
+ execution time, so that the driver doesn't have to wait
+ any longer than necessary before starting to poll for a
+ result.
+
+ Example output:
+
+ 3015000 4508000 180995000 [original]
+
+ Here the short, medium and long durations are displayed in
+ usecs. "[original]" indicates that the values are displayed
+ unmodified from when they were queried from the chip.
+ Durations can be modified in the case where a buggy chip
+ reports them in msec instead of usec and they need to be
+ scaled to be displayed in usecs. In this case "[adjusted]"
+ will be displayed in place of "[original]".
+
+What: /sys/class/misc/tpmX/device/enabled
+Date: April 2006
+KernelVersion: 2.6.17
+Contact: tpmdd-devel@lists.sf.net
+Description: The "enabled" property prints a '1' if the TPM chip is enabled,
+ meaning that it should be visible to the OS. This property
+ may be visible but produce a '0' after some operation that
+ disables the TPM.
+
+What: /sys/class/misc/tpmX/device/owned
+Date: April 2006
+KernelVersion: 2.6.17
+Contact: tpmdd-devel@lists.sf.net
+Description: The "owned" property produces a '1' if the TPM_TakeOwnership
+ ordinal has been executed successfully in the chip. A '0'
+ indicates that ownership hasn't been taken.
+
+What: /sys/class/misc/tpmX/device/pcrs
+Date: April 2005
+KernelVersion: 2.6.12
+Contact: tpmdd-devel@lists.sf.net
+Description: The "pcrs" property will dump the current value of all Platform
+ Configuration Registers in the TPM. Note that since these
+ values may be constantly changing, the output is only valid
+ for a snapshot in time.
+
+ Example output:
+
+ PCR-00: 3A 3F 78 0F 11 A4 B4 99 69 FC AA 80 CD 6E 39 57 C3 3B 22 75
+ PCR-01: 3A 3F 78 0F 11 A4 B4 99 69 FC AA 80 CD 6E 39 57 C3 3B 22 75
+ PCR-02: 3A 3F 78 0F 11 A4 B4 99 69 FC AA 80 CD 6E 39 57 C3 3B 22 75
+ PCR-03: 3A 3F 78 0F 11 A4 B4 99 69 FC AA 80 CD 6E 39 57 C3 3B 22 75
+ PCR-04: 3A 3F 78 0F 11 A4 B4 99 69 FC AA 80 CD 6E 39 57 C3 3B 22 75
+ ...
+
+ The number of PCRs and hex bytes needed to represent a PCR
+ value will vary depending on TPM chip version. For TPM 1.1 and
+ 1.2 chips, PCRs represent SHA-1 hashes, which are 20 bytes
+ long. Use the "caps" property to determine TPM version.
+
+What: /sys/class/misc/tpmX/device/pubek
+Date: April 2005
+KernelVersion: 2.6.12
+Contact: tpmdd-devel@lists.sf.net
+Description: The "pubek" property will return the TPM's public endorsement
+ key if possible. If the TPM has had ownership established and
+ is version 1.2, the pubek will not be available without the
+ owner's authorization. Since the TPM driver doesn't store any
+ secrets, it can't authorize its own request for the pubek,
+ making it unaccessible. The public endorsement key is gener-
+ ated at TPM menufacture time and exists for the life of the
+ chip.

+What: /sys/class/misc/tpmX/device/temp_deactivated
+Date: April 2006
+KernelVersion: 2.6.17
+Contact: tpmdd-devel@lists.sf.net
+Description: The "temp_deactivated" property returns a '1' if the chip has
+ been temporarily dectivated, usually until the next power
+ cycle. Whether a warm boot (reboot) will clear a TPM chip
+ from a temp_deactivated state is platform specific.
+
+What: /sys/class/misc/tpmX/device/timeouts
+Date: March 2011
+KernelVersion: 3.1
+Contact: tpmdd-devel@lists.sf.net
+Description: The "timeouts" property shows the 4 vendor-specific values
+ for the TPM's interface spec timeouts. The use of these
+ timeouts is defined by the TPM interface spec that the chip
+ conforms to.
+
+ Example output:
+
+ 750000 750000 750000 750000 [original]
+
+ The four timeout values are shown in usecs, with a trailing
+ "[original]" or "[adjusted]" depending on whether the values
+ were scaled by the driver to be reported in usec from msecs.
