[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] QOM: Fail casts for unknown types

[Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>]

When we try to cast an object to an unknown type, fail the cast. Today
we would simply run into an assert().

This fixes a bug on qemu-system-s390x for me that gets triggered by the
audio code looking for PCI and ISA buses.
