Hi all!

That's a preparation for backend-transfer migration of
vhost-user-blk, and introduced DEFINE_PROP_CHR_NO_CONNECT()
is unused now.

v3 of "vhost-user-blk: live-backend local migration" is coming
soon, and will be based on this series (and will use
DEFINE_PROP_CHR_NO_CONNECT of course).

changes in v5:
- rebase on master (conflicts due to be->fe renamings)
- tiny wording improvements in 05

Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy (7):
  chardev/char-socket: simplify reconnect-ms handling
  chardev/char: split chardev_init_common() out of qemu_char_open()
  chardev/char: qemu_char_open(): add return value
  chardev/char: move filename and be_opened handling to qemu_char_open()
  chardev/char: introduce .init() + .connect() initialization interface
  chardev/char-socket: move to .init + .connect api
  chardev: introduce DEFINE_PROP_CHR_NO_CONNECT
