There is an option D.

If you have the possibility to unpack and repack your image you can chmod 0622 
/dev/ttyp0 and /dev/ttyp1.
This works even if the /dev is not writable!

In syslog I still get:
Jan  1 00:05:38 (none) authpriv.err dropbear[458]: chmod(/dev/ttyp0, 0622) 
failed: Read-only file system
But I'm able to login.

Maybe the developer can have a look to better support read only /dev file 
systems. Like my router has.

Dropbear attempted to change the ownership of /dev/ttyp1 but your /dev 
directory is on a read-only filesystem, so the ownership can't be changed.

You can try:

A) making the /dev directory writeable.
B) logging in without a tty (the -T option, that's capital T)
C) mounting the devpts filesystem on /dev/pts and configuring dropbear to use 
it.
