Character backends are actually QOM types. When a backend's compile-time conditional QOM type is not compiled in, creation fails with "'FOO' is not a valid char driver name". Okay, except introspecting chardev-add with query-qmp-schema doesn't work then: the backend type is there even though the QOM type isn't.
A management application can work around this issue by using qom-list-types instead.
Fix the issue anyway: add the conditionals to the QAPI schema.
