From 5965243641d797b2270082c5a4eab49cb81fc8f0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kevin Wolf Date: Thu, 11 Mar 2021 17:42:52 +0100 Subject: char: Deprecate backend aliases 'tty' and 'parport' QAPI doesn't know the aliases 'tty' and 'parport' and there is no reason to prefer them to the real names of the backends 'serial' and 'parallel'. Since warnings are not allowed in 'make check' output, we can't test the deprecated alias any more. Remove it from test-char.
