The Linux Plumbers 2016 TPM track will focus on promoting discussions on integrating TPM support into mainstream distributions, from boot through to userspace. It will describe the issues that need to be rectified before TPMs can be depended upon in general, along with why this is so important (helping resist firmware-based attacks, increased protection of user keys and so on.

This will require discussion of kernel components along with early boot, system-wide infrastructure and the tooling necessary to tie this into desktop sessions.
