[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] hw/usb-ohci.c: Ignore writes to HcPeriodCurrentED register

[Peter Maydell]

HcPeriodCurrentED is read-only, but Linux writes to it anyway; silently
ignore this rather than printing a warning message.

(Specifically, drivers/usb/host/ohci-hub.c:ohci_rh_resume() writes a
0, in at least kernels 2.6.25 through 2.6.39.)

I'm not sure what the consensus is for cases like this where QEMU's correct
to warn about dodgy device access but a popular operating system(tm) does
them anyway. Suppressing the warning seems a bit more user-friendly to
the average QEMU user...
