If CONFIG_CONSOLE_MUX=y and CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV=n, a NULL
dereference occurs in console_devices_set().

This is strange code and desperately needs a comment. As you say, it is
only called only when:

SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV=n
CONSOLE_MUX=y

Please add some notes about this being allocated in iomux normally, but in
this case we just need a single device so it is allocated here...
