[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 10/21] qdev: do not propagate properties to subclasses

[Paolo Bonzini]

As soon as we'll look up properties along the inheritance chain, we
will have duplicates if class A defines some properties and its
subclass B does not define any, because class_b->props will be
left equal to class_a->props.

The solution here is to reintroduce the class_base_init TypeInfo
callback, that was present in one of the early QOM versions but
removed (on my request...) before committing.
