Is there a blessed way to determine T2 chip (or newer)?

Looking into the IORegistry devicetree for the option BridgeOS seems a bit coarse.

Why does this matter to you? How are you going to use this information?

The Diskutil output needs to be interpreted differently if instant encryption is available to the machine, which is "T2 or newer" controller for now.

The Diskutil output needs to be interpreted differently …

And what are you doing with that?

For any who want to know, you can parse out of the System Profile report (but this seems twitchy as you'll have to expect that there will be a T3 chip with features which include those of the T2), or you can assume that all machines iMacPro and newer have a T2 chip and hardcode known model ids.
