Following that logic the first one is also problematic when cd_count[file] == 0.

I don't see good solution. :-(

Maybe moving to dev as a loop variable and having NULL terminated arrays
should fix that.

For now probably your solution is a good compromise.
But, please rewrite it to have all three more visible in a for-loop:

	for (i = 0;							\
	     i < cd_count[file] && (dev = console_devices[file][i]);	\
	     i++)
