    "content": "Currently we allow devices to define \"link properties\" with\nDEFINE_PROP_LINK(): these are a way to give a device a pointer to\nanother QOM object.  (Under the hood this is done by handing it the\ncanonical QOM path for the object.)\n\nWe also allow devices to define \"array properties\" with\nDEFINE_PROP_ARRAY(): these are a way to give a device a\nvariable-length array of properties.\n\nHowever, there is no way to define an array of link properties.  If\nyou try to do it by passing qdev_prop_link as the arrayprop argument\nto DEFINE_PROP_ARRAY() you will get a crash because qdev_prop_link\ndoes not provide the .set and .get methods in its PropertyInfo\nstruct.\n\nThis patch implements a new DEFINE_PROP_LINK_ARRAY(). In\na device you can use it like this:\n\nstruct MyDevice {\n    ...\n    uint32_t num_cpus;\n    ARMCPU **cpus;\n}\n\nand in your Property array:\n    DEFINE_PROP_LINK_ARRAY(\"cpus\", MyDevice, num_cpus, cpus,\n                           TYPE_ARM_CPU, ARMCPU *),\n\nThe array property code will fill in s->num_cpus, allocate memory in\ns->cpus, and populate it with pointers.\n\nOn the device-creation side you set the property in the same way as\nthe existing array properties, using the new qlist_append_link()\nfunction to append to the QList:\n\n    QList *cpulist = qlist_new();\n    for (int i = 0; i < cpus; i++) {\n        qlist_append_link(cpulist, OBJECT(cpu[i]));\n    }\n    qdev_prop_set_array(mydev, \"cpus\", cpulist);\n\nThe implementation is mostly in the provision of the .set and\n.get methods to the qdev_prop_link PropertyInfo struct. The\ncode of these methods parallels the code in\nobject_set_link_property() and object_get_link_property().  We can't\ncompletely share the code with those functions because of differences\nin where we get the information like the target QOM type, but I have\npulled out a new function object_resolve_and_typecheck() for the\nshared \"given a QOM path and a type, give me the object or an error\"\ncode.\n\nSigned-off-by: Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org>\nReviewed-by: Philippe Mathieu-Daudé <philmd@linaro.org>\n---\n hw/core/qdev-properties.c         | 78 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++\n include/hw/core/qdev-properties.h | 41 ++++++++++++++++\n 2 files changed, 119 insertions(+)",
