You are right that I was creating a cpio, but apparently that's not the cause.
Disabling the cpio image followed by 'make clean; make' didn't remove
/dev/console. The code at fs/cpio/cpio.mk indicates that the above line always
takes effect when !BR2_ROOTFS_DEVICE_CREATION_STATIC regardless of
BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_CPIO.
