This is documenting device tree binding for
I2C based TPM, similar concept which being used
for virtual TPM on POWER7 and POWER8 systems running PowerVM.

+Device Tree Bindings for I2C based Trusted Platform Module(TPM)
+---------------------------------------------------------------
+
+This node describes a TPM device connected to Processor on i2c bus.
+
+Required properties:
+
+- compatible : 'manufacturer,model'
+- label : represents device type
+- linux,sml-base : base address of the Event Log. It is a physical
address.
quoted
+		   sml stands for shared memory log.
+- linux,sml-size : size of the memory allocated for the Event Log.
+
+Optional properties:
+
+- status: indicates whether the device is enabled or disabled.
"okay" for
quoted
+          enabled and "disabled" for disabled.
+
+Example
+-------
+
+tpm@57 {
+	reg = <0x57>;
+	label = "tpm";
+	compatible = "nuvoton,npct650", "nuvoton,npct601";
+	linux,sml-base = <0x7f 0xfd450000>;
+	linux,sml-size = <0x10000>;
+	status = "okay";
+};
I would rather name the fields event-log-base and event-log-size. They
would be much more readable and obvious names.
I agree - I always get stuck upon the sml thing.

Also, enabled should be "enabled", not "okay".
No!
okay/ok is a dt keyword! (Or at least used in everything else)

It has nothing to do whether the TPM is enabled/disabled/activated whatever
Peter
OK, just to educate myself, where can I find these standard keywords?

The granularity is wrong (section 8.7 of TPM 2.0 Structures
specification). There are four different things that you can
enabled/disable.
