[Qemu-devel] [PATCHv9 1/3] fw_cfg: switch fw_cfg_find() to locate the fw_cfg device by type rather than path

[Mark Cave-Ayland]

This will enable the fw_cfg device to be placed anywhere within the QOM tree
regardless of its machine location.

Note that we also add a comment to document the behaviour that we return NULL to
indicate failure where either no fw_cfg device or multiple fw_cfg devices are
found.
