Not that this helps you, but mine definitely works. I've got an older
Dell XPS-13 with a Nuvoton 650 which is software switchable between 1.2
and 2.0. This is what mine says

jejb@jarvis:~> dmesg|egrep -i tis\|tpm\|crb

However, this makes me wonder about yours:

I thought the Lenovo "upgrade to 2.0" in fact disabled the external TPM
in favour of the Intel PTT (software TPM in the management engine).
Since you apparently have the tpm_crb driver that should find the PTT
TPM, this might be one of the attachment bugs in the CRB driver ...
from your ACPI output it looks to be not specifying the Tpm2Tabl.
