+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.
