[Qemu-devel] [PATCH for-2.3 0/3] Contain drive_get() misuse

[Markus Armbruster]

Drives defined with if!=none are for board initialization to wire up.
Board code calls drive_get() or similar to find them, and creates
devices with their qdev drive properties set accordingly.

Except a few devices go on a fishing expedition for a suitable backend
instead of exposing a drive property for board code to set: they call
driver_get() or drive_get_next() in their realize() or init() method.
Wrong.

We can't fix this in time for the release, so do the next best thing:
contain the mistakes as far as possible so they don't become ABI:

* Mark them all with suitable FIXME comments [PATCH 1]

* sdhci-pci is new, set cannot_instantiate_with_device_add_yet to make
  it unavailable with -device [PATCH 2]

* A few more aren't currently available with -device, set
  cannot_instantiate_with_device_add_yet to ensure they stay
  unavailable [PATCH 3]

* Left alone: m25p80-generic and its derivatives, ssi-sd, pc87312

  sdhci: Make device "sdhci-pci" unavailable with -device
  sysbus: Contain drive_get_next() misuse
