Hi,
Thank you for submitting the patch.

Can you please send to the list how to reproduce the issue?
Is this a regression? Before the above commit did it work?

The 'qdev' field and 'realize' property are private, you should use one
of QOM's 'property_get' methods.

I am also concerned about adding the realize check here,
it seems too "deep" in implementation, seeing this checks everywhere
doesn't seem a good idea.
I think we should first understand the root cause and try making this
change in a higher level.

I hope I helped,
Marcel
