Revert "qdev: Use qdev_get_device_class() for -device <type>,help"
This reverts commit 31bed5509dfcbdfc293154ce81086a4dbd7a80b6. The reverted commit changed qdev_device_help() to reject abstract devices and devices that have cannot_instantiate_with_device_add_yet set, to fix crash bugs like -device x86_64-cpu,help. Rejecting abstract devices makes sense: they're purely internal, and the implementation of the help feature can't cope with them. Rejecting non-pluggable devices makes less sense: even though you can't use them with -device, the help may still be useful elsewhere, for instance with -global. This is a regression: -device FOO,help used to help even for FOO that aren't pluggable. The previous two commits fixed the crash bug at a lower layer, so reverting this one is now safe. Fixes the -device FOO,help regression, except for the broken devices marked cannot_even_create_with_object_new_yet. For those, the error message is improved. Example of a device where the regression is fixed: $ qemu-system-x86_64 -device PIIX4_PM,help PIIX4_PM.command_serr_enable=bool (on/off) PIIX4_PM.multifunction=bool (on/off) PIIX4_PM.rombar=uint32 PIIX4_PM.romfile=str PIIX4_PM.addr=int32 (Slot and optional function number, example: 06.0 or 06) PIIX4_PM.memory-hotplug-support=bool PIIX4_PM.acpi-pci-hotplug-with-bridge-support=bool PIIX4_PM.s4_val=uint8 PIIX4_PM.disable_s4=uint8 PIIX4_PM.disable_s3=uint8 PIIX4_PM.smb_io_base=uint32 Example of a device where it isn't fixed: $ qemu-system-x86_64 -device host-x86_64-cpu,help Can't list properties of device 'host-x86_64-cpu' Both failed with "Parameter 'driver' expects pluggable device type" before.
