No. In theory the kernel could make use of TrustZone if it is not
locked down by vendor firmware ... but it is hard to make effective
use of it in a large general-purpose software stack like the Linux
kernel.
In consumer devices, TrustZone is often locked down by vendor
firmware, and then Linux can't play with it anyway.
