I'm afraid

    2d0583f qmp: Fix device-list-properties not to crash for abstract device
    2874c65 qdev: Protect device-list-properties against broken devices
    55b4efb Revert "qdev: Use qdev_get_device_class() for -device <type>,help"

unmask a bunch of device model bugs, so you need to pick their fixes,
too:

    ac98fa8 update-linux-headers: Rename SW_MAX to SW_MAX_
    c6047e9 virtio-input: Fix device introspection on non-Linux hosts
    2e2b8eb memory: allow destroying a non-empty MemoryRegion
    81e0ab4 hw: do not pass NULL to memory_region_init from instance_init
    c710440 macio: move DBDMA_init from instance_init to realize

To check everything's sane, you can pick

    e253c28 tests: Fix how qom-test is run
    5fb48d9 libqtest: New hmp() & friends
    2d1abb8 device-introspect-test: New, covering device introspection

and run make check.

I apologize for not communicating this better in the commit messages.
