[PATCH v2 0/1] hw/adc: convert object props to class props

[Mark Cave-Ayland]

Since the use of object props is effectively deprecated, here is an attempt
to convert all use of object props in hw/adc to class props. The eventual
aim is to continue working through the codebase, removing all remaining uses
of object props.

The series is lightly tested: it passes "make check", GitLab CI and some
simple local tests. I'm mostly interested for feedback on the conversion
strategy, and to get a feel for the best way to merge this series since once
the basic conversion patterns are in place, the same patterns can be applied
elsewhere and it would be good to minimise the merge window for such changes.

v2:
- Drop support for "foo[*]" notation, and generate the array property name
  directly as suggested by Daniel

Thanks Daniel.

This is actually the 2nd conversion series I've sent, the first is for 
hw/acpi which I posted at 
https://patchew.org/QEMU/20260622112403.928954-1-mark.caveayland@nutanix.com/.

Given that such changes will cover a large amount of the codebase, do 
you think it makes sense to send all the series through the QOM tree? 
And would that require an Ack from all the relevant maintainers too?

My worry is that the conversion process and dropping of standard object 
properties will get dragged out over many months for what is effectively 
a global mechanical-ish conversion.


ATB,

Mark.
