Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH] hw/qdev: Don't crash if qdev_create(NULL, ...) fails
Date: Wed,  3 Aug 2011 23:49:04 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1312411744-9292-1-git-send-email-peter.maydell@linaro.org> (raw)

If an attempt to create a qdev device on the default sysbus (by passing
NULL as the bus to qdev_create) fails, print a useful error message
rather than crashing trying to dereference a NULL pointer.
