Hi, michael:

It seems that qemu_char_get_next_serial()  call the qemu_chr_fe_claim, 
which is also called by
qdev_prop_set_chr ! This cause chr->avail_connectinos less than 1. as 
the error message said:
"it's in use".
A stright fix is to call the qemu_chr_fe_release after 
qemu_char_get_next_serial and the call the
qdev_prop_set_chr, the error is gone! I have test with your test cases 
and it works.

Or another way, can we modify qemu_char_get_next_serial and just skip 
the call of qemu_chr_fe_claim?
