hw/qdev: Prefix bus type in qdev_get_printable_name() device paths
Raw get_dev_path() output (e.g. "0000:00:04.0", "/1") is ambiguous without knowing which bus produced it. Prefix the path with the bus type name so error messages become self-describing. Examples: - PCIE device 0000:00:04.0 - virtio-pci-bus device 0000:00:03.0 Suggested-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alessandro Ratti <alessandro@0x65c.net> Reviewed-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260321100405.1525059-3-alessandro@0x65c.net Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
