4Subject: [PATCH] main.c: revert check on console device
5
6Fix kernel panic because of the missing /dev/console.
7
8Revert Yocto-specific : "check console device file on fs when booting".
9
10The initramfs used in this kernel needs to be of the smallest possible
11size so we save a few kb by deploying an empty /dev which is populated
12after boot by the init (kexecboot checks and recreates the devices
13with or without devtmpfs).
