Commit Message

Eduardo Habkost Jan. 10, 2019, 6:04 p.m. UTC
Making some global properties optional will let us simplify
compat code when a given property works on most (but not all)
subclasses of a given type.

Device types will be able to opt out from optional compat
properties by simply not registering those properties.

Signed-off-by: Eduardo Habkost <ehabkost@redhat.com>

Changes v2 -> v3:
* Don't ignore all errors, ignore property only if it doesn't
  exist

Changes v1 -> v2:
* (new patch)

Note: the "An error is fatal for non-hotplugged devices [...]"
comment that appears in the diff scope is inaccurate, but I will
fix that in a separate patch because I don't want this to get
into the way of fixing the crash.
