[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3] xilinx_spips: Correct usage of an uninitialized local variable

[Francisco Iglesias]

Coverity found that the variable tx_rx in the function
xilinx_spips_flush_txfifo was being used uninitialized (CID 1383841). This
patch corrects this by always initializing tx_rx to zeros.

v3. Change to report errors on the num_busses property via the Error**
    parameter when realizing the devices.
---
v2. Add a sanity check on the num_busses property when realizing the
    devices.
