Here's where I got mine:

There is no plan to drop support for 1.1 TPMs, however, they will
continue to be manufacturer specific.  You may not find an entry in ACPI
for your 1.1 TPM as that was not mandated until 1.2, however, some 1.1
manufacturers did add an entry anyway (currently we don't make use of
it).  Even if there is an entry this driver will not work for your 1.1
TPM.
