Ok, found the culprit, the kernel was configured
with dynamic minors which doesn't play well with
static /dev. This config kicked in due to a hdmi
setting, so I missed it.

$ grep DYNAMIC_MINOR config-4.19.182-rt74a
# CONFIG_DVB_DYNAMIC_MINORS is not set
CONFIG_SND_DYNAMIC_MINORS=y
# CONFIG_USB_DYNAMIC_MINORS is not set
$

Thanks, for all help.
