Which problem is there with the current code?

The #ifdef above does not seem to depend on DCC at all?

And what does it hurt if we always shut down the console? To me that
looks clearer than an additional #ifdef.

Finally, what if somebody wants to use DCC and an UART simultaneously?
I guess that should be possible, too.
