rootfs: don't populate /dev/ with static device filesColibri_VF_LinuxImageV2.1Beta2_20131129
The Colibri VFxx console gobbles most output and sometimes provokes a kernel oops during boot, if a valid /dev/null is already part of the rootfs before mounting devtmpfs. The dynamically populated dev with devtmpfs / udev is enough.
