[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 21/21] qemu-char: cleanup after completed conversion to cd->create

[Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>]

All backends now return errors through Error*, so the "Failed to
create chardev" placeholder error can only be reached if the backend
is not available (and only from the chardev-add QMP command; instead,
the -chardev command line option fails earlier).
