Pretty much all Chromebooks released in the last year or two have this
chip in them. I don't have an exhaustive list, but you can usually check
this by putting your device into dev mode and then looking at the driver
attached to the TPM device in sysfs or by grepping the dmesg output for
cr50.

You can follow the developer guide[1] and build a USB image for the
board you have. You can usually checkout the latest upstream kernel in
place of where the kernel is built from in the chroot, typically
~/trunk/src/third_party/kernel/<version number>. The build should pick
up that it's an upstream tree and try to use some default defconfig.
This driver isn't upstream yet, so you may need to enable it in the
defconfig, located in
~/trunk/src/third_party/chromiumos-overlay/eclass/cros-kernel/ so that
the driver is actually built. After that, use 'cros flash' to flash the
new kernel image to your USB stick and boot from USB with 'ctrl+u' and
you should be on your way to chromeos kernel testing.
