[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3] hw/block: better reporting on pflash backing file mismatch |

It looks like there was going to be code to check we had some sort of
alignment so lets replace it with an actual check. This is a bit more
useful than the enigmatic "failed to read the initial flash content"
when we attempt to read the number of bytes the device should have.
This is a potential confusing stumbling block when you move from using
-bios to using -drive if=pflash,file=blob,format=raw,readonly for
loading your firmware code. To mitigate that we automatically pad in
the read-only case.

v3
- tweak commit title/commentary
- use total_len instead of device_len for checks
- if the device is read-only do the padding for them
- accept baking_len > total_len (how to warn_report with NULL *errp?)
