Reason is in PR. There is someone with the system without ConOut but ConOutDev is set. Instead of falling back to arbitrary device (which in this case was totally wrong choice), we can try the possible devices list. We do not change the ConOut parsing. If it would appear, there are systems with unusable devices listed in ConOutDev, then we need to think how to handle such case.
