[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 8/8] qdev: Warning about using object_class_property_add() in new code

[Eduardo Habkost <ehabkost@redhat.com>]

The only remaining user of object_class_property_add() is
arm_cpu_post_init(), but removing it may take some work. While we
don't change it, warn people to not use the function in new code.
