The device category is only used for sorting the device into a category
in the help output when the user runs QEMU with "-device ?". The
DEVICE_CATEGORY_BRIDGE is title there "Controller/Bridge/Hub devices",
so IMHO that should be fine for this device. Otherwise it should maybe
go into DEVICE_CATEGORY_MISC instead - but at least it should not stay
uncategorized, all devices that show up in the "-device ?" help text
should eventually get a category.
