[PATCH v2 0/3] char: Deprecate backend aliases |

A small series from November that has fallen through the cracks...
These aliases only work the command line, but not in QMP. Command line
QAPIfication involves writing some compatibility glue for them, which
I'm doing, but I think it's desirable to unify accepted values of both
paths. So deprecate the aliases so that we can drop the compatibility
glue later.
v2:
- Don't mention deprecated options in the help [Markus]
- Added third patch to simplify the code again. Markus had suggested
not complicating it in the first place, but then I would have to merge
patches 1 and 2 even though they address different points, so this
didn't feel very desirable.
Kevin Wolf (3):
char: Skip CLI aliases in query-chardev-backends
char: Deprecate backend aliases 'tty' and 'parport'
char: Simplify chardev_name_foreach()
