May I suggest to report that a platform is partially supported when
doing "qemu -M ?"

Yes that what I saw when trying the tip of qemu git repo.
However, those are still missing:
amba_device_register failed to register dev:smc
amba_device_register failed to register dev:sctl
amba_device_register failed to register dev:wdog
amba_device_register failed to register dev:sci0
amba_device_register failed to register dev:ssp0
amba_device_register failed to register fpga:aaci
In your opinion, which plateform should I use to get a fully supported
platform based on ARMv7 cpu ?

Thanks for the tip but why not making writeback the defaut ?
