Subject:   armv7: "sysrc: unknown variable 'virtual_oss_default_control_device'" and "virtual_oss_cmd: Could not open '/dev/'" each twice?

After official-pkgbase upgrading the boot armv7 main kernel, the boot
now reports:

Starting devd.
sysrc: unknown variable 'virtual_oss_default_control_device'
virtual_oss_cmd: Could not open '/dev/'
sysrc: unknown variable 'virtual_oss_default_control_device'
virtual_oss_cmd: Could not open '/dev/'

I do not remember those from previously but I may well have not noticed.

I've never set up anything associated with virtual_oss that I remember.

I've not updated the boot world yet.

For reference:
