v2 message:
This patchset uses id like device_del for attaching/detaching usb
devices. The first two patches ready the way:
1. makes qdev_find_recursive non static and in qdev.h
2. adds a usb_device_by_id which goes over the usb buses calling
qdev_find_recursive
3. adds the commands that use usb_device_by_id
Alon Levy (3):
qdev: make qdev_find_recursive public
usb: add public usb_device_by_id
monitor: add usb_attach and usb_detach (v2)

Okay, I am still confused about the use-case for this and I don't
see any further explanation in the commit messages. I've seen
"debugging" but can you be a bit more specific about which cases
it's needed for?
To elaborate a little more, when using a certificates based card
there is no hardware event (i.e. removing/inserting the physical card)
that causes a usb_detach/attach to the card (both in passthru and
emulated), but otoh certificates is good for testing since it decouples
it from NSS/tcp. So I needed some way to emulate an insert/remove, and
I saw usb_del, which was pretty close, and voila. This is not the same
as card remove/reinsert, but it is exactly what will happen to the
guest when spicec connects/disconnects, since I detach devices on
disconnect and attach on connect.
