Regression; this definitely worked when I wrote docs/qdev-device-use.txt.

        usb-serial and braille: use qdev for -usbdevice

The commit broke it differently, though: "qdev_prop_set: property "QEMU
USB Serial.vendorid" type mismatch".  Property "vendorid"went away much
later.

Not a release blocker, since it regressed a long time ago (v0.12).
