Can it be done at run-time (theoretically or even practically)?
(Note that we have already knob to disable / enable consoles.)

I would arrange this slightly differently, but not a big deal.
static struct console univ8250_console = {
.name = "ttyS",
.device = uart_console_device,
#ifndef USE_SERIAL_8250_LEGACY_CONSOLE
.flags = CON_PRINTBUFFER | CON_ANYTIME | CON_NBCON,
.write_atomic = univ8250_console_write_atomic,
.write_thread = univ8250_console_write_thread,
.device_lock = univ8250_console_device_lock,
.device_unlock = univ8250_console_device_unlock,
#else
.flags = CON_PRINTBUFFER | CON_ANYTIME,
.write = univ8250_console_write,
#endif
.setup = univ8250_console_setup,
.exit = univ8250_console_exit,
.match = univ8250_console_match,
.index = -1,
.data = &serial8250_reg,
};

Feels like parts (1) and (2) duplicates existing pieces of code. May it be
refactored to minimize the duplication?
