What is the intended purpose of object_property_set_link() in
static void virtio_rng_pci_realize(VirtIOPCIProxy *vpci_dev, Error **errp)
{
VirtIORngPCI *vrng = VIRTIO_RNG_PCI(vpci_dev);
DeviceState *vdev = DEVICE(&vrng->vdev);
if (!qdev_realize(vdev, BUS(&vpci_dev->bus), errp)) {
return;
}
object_property_set_link(OBJECT(vrng), "rng",
OBJECT(vrng->vdev.conf.rng),
NULL);
}
?
I'm asking because the function *always* fails. I believe it's been
failing for years.
Similar code in the CCW buddy. Also virtio-crypto-pci and
virtio-crypto-ccw link "cryptodev".
I tried moving it before qdev_realize(), where it doesn't fail. But
then *I* fail, namely at finding any effect in QOM.
If it's really useless, I'll send a patch to drop it.
If it has a use, tell me more, so I can test my patch to move it.
