This patch add the filename when the new qapi backend init from opts.

Commit 2c5f488293c7d0cd095635c74157c2526e2c4947 add support for
qapi-based chardev initialization, but miss the filename of the
char device as below:

(qemu) info chardev
parallel0: filename=(null)
serial0: filename=(null)
compat_monitor0: filename=(null)

That should happen in qmp_chardev_add(), so filename is set consistently
for every chardev no matter how it gets created.

Take care to not overwrite filename, some functions
(qmp_chardev_open_socket for example) do set chr->filename already.

Maybe it's better to put that into the individual qmp_chardev_open_*
functions anyway.

cheers,

Yeah, I was hesitant to add it here for that it does not looks very logical/...

Yes, for the char device pipe, pty, socket, they set chr->filename in their
own open functions. But I think the overwrite will not happen because
it will not get "backend" by qemu_opt_get() for these chardevs.

OK, I'll have a try and see if everyone like it, I don't have better idea..

Hi Gerd,

As I tried to add the filename into individual open functions, I think it might
not be a good idea. For example,

chardev backend file and console have the same open function qemu_chr_open_win_file().
Then we may need to add flag to distinguish them.

And we already parse every backend into QemuOpts, if we want to put the filename setting
job into open functions (by hardcoding) seems a little overdone?

So why not just set it in qemu_chr_new_from_opts(), by qemu_opt_get() directly?
