$ find /sys/ -name "*version*"
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:17.0/ata1/host0/scsi_host/host0/ahci_host_version
/sys/devices/virtual/net/docker0/bridge/multicast_mld_version
/sys/devices/virtual/net/docker0/bridge/multicast_igmp_version
/sys/firmware/efi/esrt/entries/entry0/lowest_supported_fw_version
/sys/firmware/efi/esrt/entries/entry0/last_attempt_version
/sys/firmware/efi/esrt/entries/entry0/fw_version
/sys/module/acpi/parameters/acpica_version

etc..

Not a single example of the backward version.

Most likely it should be called 'tpm_version'
