At the moment the help text is wrong:

-device driver[,prop[=value][,...]]
                add device (based on driver)
                prop=value,... sets driver properties
                use -device ? to print all possible drivers
                use -device driver,? to print all possible properties

We also need documentation for properties and devices,
but that's a separate problem.
