* src/qemu/qemu_hostdev.c: function 'pciDeviceListFind' probably explicitly
   returns null, however, the function 'pciDeviceSetUsedBy' directly uses it
   without any judgement.

False positive. Just a few lines earlier, in loop 4, we guaranteed that dev was added to driver->activePciHostdevs, therefore, activeDev cannot be NULL here.

That said, we could probably simplify things by consolidating loop 5 and 6 into one, and in the process of that simplification, silence the spurious warning from the static analyzer.
