[PATCH v2 8/8] hw/misc/vmcoreinfo: Add comment about reset handler
Posted by Philippe Mathieu-Daudé 6 years, 4 months ago
The VM coreinfo device does not sit on a bus, so it won't be
reset automatically. This is why it calls qemu_register_reset().

Add a comment about it, so we don't convert its reset handler
to a DeviceReset method.

There are some other device-related code using 'qemu_register_reset'.
Maybe we can also add theses comment.

Thanks,
