[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] virtio-serial: avoid crash when port has no name

[Marc-André Lureau]

It seems "name" is not mandatory, and the following command line (based
on one generated by current libvirt) will crash qemu at start:

qemu-system-x86_64 \
    -device virtio-serial-pci \
    -device virtserialport,name=foo \
    -device virtconsole

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
