The function is specific to mipssim, let's inline it.

Please explain why the code in the deleted function and the new function
are not identical. Why is the new code better?

What differences do you spot?
serial_init() looks very generic, but it is not, and this is
confusing. QDev users should call qdev_create().
If there is a single user, it is better to inline the code where it is
being used, or move the function there.

Marc-Andre, you misunderstood me: I am not complaining about inlining at
all, I would do the same if I were you.
I just see you expressed the same thing from former function in a slightly
different way in the inlined version, and they look functionally equivalent
to me. But I suppose the new way is better, and I want to know why. Is it a
more standard way, or something even more? Please understand that I don't
come from device emulation background - I want to learn a little bit about
device-related QEMU customs and conventions, that is all. :)
For example,
in old version:
>> -SerialIO *serial_init(int base, qemu_irq irq, int baudbase,
>> - Chardev *chr, MemoryRegion *system_io)
>> -{
>> - SerialIO *sio = SERIAL_IO(qdev_create(NULL, TYPE_SERIAL_IO));
>> -
>> - qdev_prop_set_uint32(DEVICE(sio), "baudbase", baudbase);
>> - qdev_prop_set_chr(DEVICE(sio), "chardev", chr);
>> - qdev_set_legacy_instance_id(DEVICE(sio), base, 2);
>> - qdev_init_nofail(DEVICE(sio));
>> -
>> - sysbus_connect_irq(SYS_BUS_DEVICE(sio), 0, irq);
>> - memory_region_add_subregion(system_io, base, &sio->serial.io);
>> -
>> - return sio;
>> -}
in new version:
>> + if (serial_hd(0)) {
>> + DeviceState *dev = qdev_create(NULL, TYPE_SERIAL_IO);
>> +
>> + qdev_prop_set_uint32(DEVICE(dev), "baudbase", 115200);
>> + qdev_prop_set_chr(dev, "chardev", serial_hd(0)); <-- you
didn't use here DEVICE(), while it is used in the previous line, and also
in the old version, and similar questions
>> + qdev_set_legacy_instance_id(dev, 0x3f8, 2);
>> + qdev_init_nofail(dev);
>> + sysbus_connect_irq(SYS_BUS_DEVICE(dev), 0, env->irq[4]);
>> + memory_region_add_subregion(get_system_io(), 0x3f8,
>> + &SERIAL_IO(dev)->serial.io);
>> + }
For you all these details are probably perfectly natural and obvois, but
not for me.
Yours, Aleksandar

But I suppose the new way is better, and I want to know why. Is it a more standard way, or something even more? Please understand that I don't come from device emulation background - I want to learn a little bit about device-related QEMU customs and conventions, that is all. :)

Oh, there is no big difference between a variable using the base type
DeviceState * or the instance type SerialIO *.
Basically, you need a variable to hold the instance, and then you cast
it with DEVICE() or SERIAL_IO() or event SYS_BUS_DEVICE() as
necessary, depending on what type the function you call expect.
I probably picked DeviceState* because it is the most commonly used,
and it avoids having plenty of DEVICE() casts.
