The default for the tpm2_* tools with '-T device' switch is to talk to
/dev/tpm0.

If one would try to run it, by mistake, it would fail with:

$ tpm2_clear -T device
ERROR:tcti:src/tss2-tcti/tcti-device.c:439:Tss2_Tcti_Device_Init()
Failed to open device file /dev/tpm0: Permission denied

To point it to /dev/tpmrm0 it would need to be:
$ tpm2_clear -T device:/dev/tpmrm0
