How can I find out if Ubuntu 15.10 comes with TPM enabled?

[shahin]

I want to interface with a TPM card connected to my Ubuntu 15.10 via USB. How can I know if the kernel supports TPM? And if not, how can I get a version which does? How can I activate the Trusted Platform Module support on my machine please?

Just FYI, 15.04 is now end-of-life and no longer supported.

My bad; I meant 15.10. Thanks for catching that.

I know nothing about TPM, but saved some links, now many older.
