Subject: hw/qdev: Consolidate qdev_get_printable_name() into qdev_get_human_name()
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3d2a02f42d7e2550951c4e5c8bfac856efe20525;p=thirdparty%2Fqemu.git

hw/qdev: Consolidate qdev_get_printable_name() into qdev_get_human_name()

Rename qdev_get_printable_name() to qdev_get_human_name(), remove
the old qdev_get_human_name() implementation, and switch the three
qdev_get_printable_name() callers in hw/virtio/virtio.c.

qdev_get_printable_name() subsumes qdev_get_human_name(): both
return the device ID when set and fall back to the canonical QOM
path, but qdev_get_printable_name() also tries the bus-specific
path first, providing more informative output.
