There is -global.  This sets properties for all instances of a given
device.  If there is only one instance of your built-in device you can
use that to set the properties.  A bit hackish, but works and has been
the only way to do it for a long time.

These days we typically add an alias to the machine type, examples are
pflash{0,1} and pcspk-audiodev for the pc machine type which configure
the builtin flash and pc speaker devices.

take care,
