Dear all, I got the feedback below by private email (was meant to be sent to the m-l), so I think I’ll go with meta-tmp2 from meta-secure-core for now.
But I may switch to meta-tpm from meta-security in the future as it seems to have more tpm2 related recipes (I’m on thud for now and the tpm2-tools in thud branch of meta-security is too old). Any other feedback from the community?

Are there any recommendations as to which of these layers would be more appropriate, is better maintained, etc.? I've personally used the meta-tpm2 layer in meta-secure-core repo with good success on both Intel and ARM platforms with Infineon TPM chips. In particular, I used the cryptfs-tpm2 and secure-core initramfs recipes from that layer for managing root fs encryption. IIRC, this layer seemed to offer the best support for what we needed regarding TPM2 on Yocto 'Sumo' at the time. I haven't really looked at the other layers recently so I can't give a comparison with those. However, I did notice a significant amount of activity via the mailing list related to TPM2 support for the meta-security repo in recent weeks, so that's probably worth a look too. BTW, the meta-tpm layer in meta-security repo is not listed in the OpenEmbedded Layer index, although meta-security itself and some of the other layers in that repo are listed. Is that because of a name clash with the ones under the meta-secure-core repo, which also carries layers named meta-tpm and meta-integrity?
