[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] ssi-sd: Make devices picking up backends unavailable with -device

[Markus Armbruster]

Device models aren't supposed to go on fishing expeditions for
backends.  They should expose suitable properties for the user to set.
For onboard devices, board code sets them.

Device ssi-sd picks up its block backend in its init() method with
drive_get_next() instead.  This mistake is already marked FIXME since
commit af9e40a.

Unset user_creatable to remove the mistake from our external
interface.  Since the SSI bus doesn't support hotplug, only -device
can be affected.  Only certain ARM machines have ssi-sd and provide an
SSI bus for it; this patch breaks -device ssi-sd for these machines.
No actual use of -device ssi-sd is known.
