[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] qdev: fix crash when device_add is called with abstract driver

[Igor Mammedov]

user is able to crash running QEMU when following monitor
command is called:

 device_add intel-hda-generic

crash is caused by assertion in object_initialize_with_type()
when type is abstract.

Checking if type is abstract before instance is created in
qdev_device_add() allows to prevent crash on incorrect user input.
