[PATCH 0/2] char: Deprecate backend aliases

[Kevin Wolf]

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.

In the deprecation documentation I assumed that this is for 6.0, but if
we want to include it in 5.2 still, this can be changed, of course.

Kevin Wolf (2):
  char: Skip CLI aliases in query-chardev-backends
  char: Deprecate backend aliases 'tty' and 'parport'
