Subject: net: Restore printing of the help text with "-nic help"
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=27c819244b8129a4742bfe43d255cdaa8528765d;p=qemu.git

net: Restore printing of the help text with "-nic help"

Running QEMU with "-nic help" used to work in QEMU 5.2 and earlier versions
(it showed the available netdev backends), but this feature got broken during
some refactoring in version 6.0. Let's restore the old behavior, and while
we're at it, let's also print the available NIC models here now since this
option can be used to configure both, netdev backend and model in one go.

Fixes: ad6f932fe8 ("net: do not exit on "netdev_add help" monitor command")
