Gives me the impression that something is wrong before this, but it's
better to ask a QOM guy (CC'ing them).

How do you reproduce it btw?

I would reuse the same error message as for "if (!obj)", and also use
TYPE_DEVICE instead of the hardcoded string, but the patch is ok.

> How do you reproduce it btw?

$ x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -device SCSI
Object 0x7f56872248b0 is not an instance of type device
Aborted

However, we also need an object_class_is_abstract method to fix this
similar failure:

$ x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -device pci-device
**
ERROR:/home/pbonzini/work/upstream/qemu/qom/object.c:306:object_initialize_with_type:
assertion failed: (type->abstract == false)
Aborted

All in all, it makes sense to me that we delay this post-1.3.

It's a bit weird to me that you check for a condition and right next
you also assert it (it's what DEVICE_CLASS() will do). But I'm not familiar
with QOM, so I'll just trust you.

If the patch is good, why should we wait post-1.3 giving that it fixes a
real bug?

"device" should be TYPE_DEVICE.

What is definitely wrong here is the naming: "obj" is used for
ObjectClass rather than Object.
Therefore the use of object_class_dynamic_cast() is correct. I don't see
an earlier place to error out.

My guess is that trying to instantiate a non-device type needs to be
caught before using the mentioned asserting DEVICE_CLASS() macro below.

I.e. something like -device x86_64-cpu (non-abstract non-device type
currently) on qemu-system-x86_64, or easier -device container.

-device virtio-serial-bus

which is the incorrect way of saying

-device virtio-serial-pci

I agree, I'll keep it until then.

We could just as well do:

k = object_class_dynamic_cast(obj, TYPE_DEVICE);
if (k == NULL) {
    // do the error reporting
    return ...;
}

/* find bus */
...
