[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v5] hw/unicore32: remove wrong assertion in puv machine init

[Suramya Shah]

Running QEMU with qemu-system-unicore32 without the kernel parameter results in an assertion error.
Assert should not be used to check user provided parameters. Report an error and exit instead

Nit: There should be a blank line between the description and the
"Signed-off-by" line.
And another nit: Since some people are still using 80-columns terminal
windows, it's also nicer to wrap the description at the 80 columns
barrier (or even 76 columns already) instead.

It's maybe better to give clear instructions to the user, like:
"Need a kernel, please provide one with the '-kernel' option"
