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".

System emulator command line arguments
--------------------------------------
-``-usbdevice`` (since 2.10.0)
-'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

-The ``-usbdevice DEV`` argument is now a synonym for setting
-the ``-device usb-DEV`` argument instead. The deprecated syntax
-would automatically enable USB support on the machine type.
-If using the new syntax, USB support must be explicitly
-enabled via the ``-machine usb=on`` argument.
-
``-drive file=json:{...{'driver':'file'}}`` (since 3.0)
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
QEMU 5.0 introduced an alternative syntax to specify the size of the translation
block cache, ``-accel tcg,tb-size=``.
+``-usbdevice audio`` (removed in 6.0)
+'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
+
+This option lacked the possibility to specify an audio backend device.
+Use ``-device usb-audio`` now instead (and specify a corresponding USB
+host controller or ``-usb`` if necessary).
