From eecbb9fe6f9a9cffd8d305f688b1be27d197a253 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Markus Armbruster Date: Fri, 29 Jan 2010 19:48:58 +0100 Subject: Revert "qdev: Add help for property value" This reverts commit 922910ce42d15bdb7c2347436b1b5798b5401de4. The commit has four issues: * When it runs from the monitor, e.g. "device_add e1000,mac=?", it prints to stderr instead of the monitor. * Help looks to callers just like failed device creation. This makes main() exit unsuccessfully on "-device e1000,mac=?". * It has an undocumented side effect on -global: "-global e1000.mac=?" prints help, but only when we actually add an e1000 device. * It does not work for properties that accept the value "?". We need to do this differently.
