ConIn will contain HID devices and/or serial devices. We currently just search for serial devices and will use them instead of video with the current code. While ConIn w/o ConOut is fairly common on laptops, is kinda rare on servers. Some refinement may be needed in the future if servers come to light. This is also minimal to allow possible integration into 13.3 release.
