Hi, sorry for late response. I've been moving my (home) office to
a different location during last couple of weeks, and email has been
piling up.

What does dmidecode give you?

More specific, I'm interested on DMI type 43:

$ sudo dmidecode -t 43
# dmidecode 3.4
Getting SMBIOS data from sysfs.
SMBIOS 3.4.0 present.

Handle 0x004D, DMI type 43, 31 bytes
TPM Device
Vendor ID: INTC
Specification Version: 2.0
Firmware Revision: 600.18
Description: INTEL
Characteristics:
Family configurable via platform software support
OEM-specific Information: 0x00000000
