[Qemu-devel] [PATCH for-2.9 0/2] qom, qdev: Cleanup release functions

[Eduardo Habkost]

While working on the qdev class properteis series, I've noticed
that the release function for class properties is never called,
and have unclear semantics (should it be called when the object
is destroyed, or when the class is destroyed?). Patch 1/1 removes
the unused feature.

Patch 2/2 changes the function signature of qdev property release
functions to make their implementations simpler and safer, and
make them not depend on the way property release functions are
implemented (so the functions don't need to be rewritten if we
change qdev to use class properties).

Eduardo Habkost (2):
  qom: Remove release function from class properties
  qdev: Change signature of PropertyInfo::release
