[Bug 1090602] Re: RFE: Allow specifying usb-host device by serial number

[Thomas Huth]

The QEMU project is currently considering to move its bug tracking to another 
system. For this we need to know which bugs are still valid and which could be 
closed already. Thus we are setting older bugs to "Incomplete" now.
If you still think this bug report here is valid, then please switch the state 
back to "New" within the next 60 days, otherwise this report will be marked as 
"Expired". Or mark it as "Fix Released" if the problem has been solved with a 
newer version of QEMU already. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.

Title:
  RFE: Allow specifying usb-host device by serial number

Status in QEMU:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Currently you can pass through a host USB device to the guest like

    -device usb-host,vendorid=0x1234,productid=0x5678

  Which is all well and good, but has problems if you are trying to
  assign to identical USB devices to the same guest.

  It would be useful if there was an additional option that allow
  matching against the device's serial number, which should allow
  differentiating between two devices with the same product+vendor.
