The inconsistencies how different serial drivers handle this situation
seem staggering. Perhaps there should be some effort to make the behavior
uniform across them?

Hmm yeah we should just have them all check for co->index < 0.

Right but it's only about that, some return -Exx codes (more than one -Exx
variant) and some do assign just 0 like here.

What do you have in mind then? They should all assume co->index < 0 is an
invalid console index still, right :)
