[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v5 2/2] hw/qdev: Abort rather than ignoring errors adding device properties

[Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org>]

Instead of ignoring any errors that occur when adding properties
to a new device in device_initfn(), check for them and abort if any
occur. The most likely cause is accidentally adding a duplicate
property, which is a programming error by the device author.
