In my case, busybox is not the init system and the recipe is therefore
not machine specific. But the code above is active and thus introduces a
sstate dependency on the machine-specific SERIAL_CONSOLES anyway, even
though the code is dead (if check never reaches it).
The code would have to be added conditionally, and only when it is okay
to reference ${SERIAL_CONSOLES}.
