Correct.

Just modify Buildroot /etc/inittab instead.

Yes, it must be created. So, add the following line to
target/generic/device_table.txt:
/dev/ttyAM c 666 0 0 204 16 0 1 4
It will make that /dev/ttyAM0, /dev/ttyAM1, /dev/ttyAM2 and /dev/ttyAM3
are created when building the root filesystem.
If you want to automate the adaptation of the /etc/inittab, just add an
entry in target/generic/Config.in.
Regards,
Thomas
