Couple of them, actually. The first one is in
qemuValidateDomainDeviceDefTPM() where
virQEMUCapsFillDomainDeviceTPMCaps(qemuCaps, &tpmCaps); is called
followed by if (!VIR_DOMAIN_CAPS_ENUM_IS_SET(tpmCaps.model, tpm->model))
{}. And the second is qemuDomainTPMDefPostParse() which overwrites the
_DEFAULT to either _TIS or _SPAPR (alright, this is not a check that
forbids 'default' per se).
