PATCH 1/1 dma/i82374: avoid double creation of i82374 device

When used with the following command line:

./ppc64-softmmu/qemu-system-ppc64 -S -machine 40p,accel=tcg -device i82374

QEMU with machine type 40p already creates the device i82374. If specified in the command line, it will try to create it again, hence generating the error. One way to avoid this problem is to set user_creatable=false.

i82374 is compiled in only on ppc and sh4, so I'm CCing the maintainers for those architectures.

Which error?

One way to avoid this problem is to set
user_creatable=false.

The patch does more than just avoiding double creation: it prevents usage of "-device i82374" completely.

Maybe nobody needs it to work with -device today (would the device even work?) and it is OK to set user_creatable=false until we fix the crash. But we need to be sure of that.

It crashes because isa_bus_dma() isn't supposed to be called twice for the same bus.

Making isa_bus_dma()/DMA_init()/i82374_realize() return an error instead of asserting would be even better than setting user_creatable=false.

Well pointed, forgot to describe the actual error. I may inlcude for the next version of the patch. For for correctness sake, here it is:

./ppc64-softmmu/qemu-system-ppc64 -S -machine 40p,accel=tcg -device i82374

I suggest amending it with the additional info below, explaining that isa_bus_dma() isn't supposed to be called twice, and that we need to make isa_bus_dma()/DMA_init()/i82374_realize() return an appropriate error if the device is instantiated twice.

The i82374 device is not useful nor usable on SH4. It has just been added in commit 85d3846a39 to be able to run the tests.

But that means that the patch is wrong and probably was not tested with "make check".

Eduardo's proposal is the right one.

Great, I'll just add the missing details and resend the v2. Thanks for the review.
