When setting "realized" fails, scsi_bus_legacy_add_drive() passes the error to qerror_report_err(), then returns an unspecific "Setting drive property failed" error, which is reported further up the call chain.
Example: $ qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -S -display none \ > -drive if=scsi,id=foo,file=tmp.qcow2 -global isa-fdc.driveA=foo qemu-system-x86_64: -drive if=scsi,id=foo,file=tmp.qcow2: Property 'scsi-disk.drive' can't take value 'foo', it's in use qemu-system-x86_64: Setting drive property failed qemu-system-x86_64: Device initialization failed qemu-system-x86_64: Initialization of device lsi53c895a failed Clean up the obvious way: simply return the original error to the caller. Gets rid of the second message in the above error cascade.
