Character devices defined with -serial and -parallel are for board
initialization to wire up. Board code examines serial_hds[] and
parallel_hds[] to find them, and creates devices with their qdev
chardev properties set accordingly.
Except a few devices go on a fishing expedition for a suitable backend
instead of exposing a chardev property for board code to set: they use
serial_hds[] (often via qemu_char_get_next_serial()) or parallel_hds[]
in their realize() or init() method to connect to a backend.
Picking up backends that way works when the devices are created by
board code. But it's inappropriate for -device or device_add. Not
only is it inconsistent with how the other characrer device models
work (they connect to a backend explicitly identified by a "chardev"
property), it breaks when the backend has been picked up by the board
or a previous -device / device_add already.
Example:
$ qemu-system-ppc64 -M bamboo -S -device i82378 -device pc87312 -device pc87312
qemu-system-ppc64: -device pc87312: Property 'isa-parallel.chardev' can't take value 'parallel0', it's in use
Mark them with suitable FIXME comments.
