Not currently. You need something to hold the tty open anyway if you do
this.

No. All tty devices start in N_TTY and return to N_TTY when closed.
That's a design assumption in the ldisc handling and in in the tty setup
and teardown code paths.
There is no API/ABI reason for the assumption so if someone did the work
they could remove that assumption.
