Oh, we already have serialN.active, which can be set selectively
configured to enable/disable input. Would be great if this still
can be used on top of this new Kconfig option to selectively enable.

For those to work, you could do

+active_flags = CONSOLE_STDOUT | CONSOLE_STDERR;
+if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_CONSOLE_WRITEONLY))
+  active_flags |= CONSOLE_STDIN;

 if (activate)
-        console_set_active(newcdev, CONSOLE_STDIN |
-                        CONSOLE_STDOUT | CONSOLE_STDERR);
+        console_set_active(newcdev, flags);


Does this work for you?
