[Qemu-devel] [PATCH RFC v2 42/47] qapi-schema: Fix up misleading specification of netdev_add

[Markus Armbruster]

It doesn't take a 'props' argument, let alone one in the format
"NAME=VALUE,..."

The bogus arguments specification doesn't matter due to 'gen': false.
Clean it up to be incomplete rather than wrong, and document the
incompleteness.
