Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] hw/qdev: Consolidate qdev_get_printable_name() into qdev_get_human_name()
Date: Sat, 21 Mar 2026 11:04:05 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260321100405.1525059-4-alessandro@0x65c.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260321100405.1525059-1-alessandro@0x65c.net>
Rename qdev_get_printable_name() to qdev_get_human_name(), remove
the old qdev_get_human_name() implementation, and switch the three
qdev_get_printable_name() callers in hw/virtio/virtio.c.
qdev_get_printable_name() subsumes qdev_get_human_name(): both
return the device ID when set and fall back to the canonical QOM
path, but qdev_get_printable_name() also tries the bus-specific
path first, providing more informative output.
