Yes ... I can see that can be used to disable any console outputs.

*But* I'm also needing to disable any console *inputs* in a similar way.

Any ideas on how to do that ?

I'm guessing I need any extra "silent" check in console.c tstc() ?

Is it acceptable to modify console.c if I use a nicely generic #ifdef ?

e.g.

int tstc (void)
{
+#if defined(CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE) && defined(CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE_INPUT)
+	if (gd->flags & GD_FLG_SILENT)
+		return 0;
+#endif
+
	if (gd->flags & GD_FLG_DEVINIT) {
		/* Test the standard input */
		return ftstc (stdin);
	}

	/* Send directly to the handler */
	return serial_tstc ();
}
