* Remove the deprecated moxie targetThomas Huth2021-05-121-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are no known users of this CPU anymore, and there are no binaries available online which could be used for regression tests, so the code has likely completely bit-rotten already. It's been marked as deprecated since two releases now and nobody spoke up that there is still a need to keep it, thus let's remove it now.

* usb: Remove "-usbdevice ccid"Thomas Huth2021-03-261-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | "-usbdevice ccid" was not documented and -usbdevice itself was marked as deprecated before QEMU v6.0. And searching for "-usbdevice ccid" in the internet does not show any useful results, so likely nobody was using the ccid device via the -usbdevice option. Remove it now.

| | | | | | | | | | | | The generic 'migrate_set_parameters' command handle all types of param. Only the QMP commands were documented in the deprecations page, but the rationale for deprecating applies equally to HMP, and the replacements exist. Furthermore the HMP commands are just shims to the QMP commands, so removing the latter breaks the former unless they get re-implemented.

* usb: Un-deprecate -usbdevice (except for -usbdevice audio which gets removed)Thomas Huth2021-03-151-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When trying to remove the -usbdevice option, there were complaints that "-usbdevice braille" is still a very useful shortcut for some people. Thus we never remove this option. Since it's not such a big burden to keep it around, and it's also convenient in the sense that you don't have to worry to enable a host controller explicitly with this option, we should remove it from he deprecation list again. However, there is one exception: "-usbdevice audio" should go away, since audio devices without "audiodev=..." parameter are also on the deprecation list and you cannot use "-usbdevice audio" with "audiodev".

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | TILE-Gx was only implemented in linux-user mode, but support for this CPU was removed from the upstream Linux kernel in 2018, and it has also been dropped from glibc, so there is no new Linux development taking place with this architecture.

* hmp: remove "change vnc TARGET" commandPaolo Bonzini2021-01-231-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The HMP command \"change vnc TARGET\" is messy: - it takes an ugly shortcut to determine if the option has an "id", with incorrect results if "id=" is not preceded by an unescaped comma. - it deletes the existing QemuOpts and does not try to rollback if the parsing fails (which is not causing problems, but only due to how VNC options are parsed) - because it uses the same parsing function as "-vnc", it forces the latter to not support "-vnc help". On top of this, it uses a deprecated QMP command, thus getting in the way of removing the QMP command. Since the usecase for the command is not clear, just remove it and send "change vnc password" directly to the QMP "change-vnc-password" command.
