That's the tpm2-abrmd package. I don't know what brings that in, I don't
have it.
The package description leaves me none the wiser:
# rpm -qi tpm2-abrmd
...

Summary : A system daemon implementing TPM2 Access Broker and Resource
Manager
Description :
tpm2-abrmd is a system daemon implementing the TPM2 access broker (TAB) and
Resource Manager (RM) spec from the TCG.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trusted_Platform_Module
The TPM is a device that can store bits of secure info. That package
provides a service for accessing the device. I have no idea what uses
it, there doesn't seem to be anything else depending on it on your
system. I would suggest just disabling it and file a bug on the package
since it seems to have a permissions issue.
# dnf remove tpm2-abrmd

Was this a clean F29 install or did you upgrade from a previous version?
It appears that tpm2-abrmd was part of the install since it brought in
a lot of dependencies. I have a lot of those other packages as well. I
would suggest if you want to remove the package that you add the
"--noautoremove" option to dnf so it doesn't remove those other ones.
As root, can you do "cat /dev/tpm0"?
Yep, it gives zero-length output.
That's what I see as well.
