It does match return type of virDomainChrSerialTargetModelTypeToString():
47 #define VIR_ENUM_DECL(name) \
48 const char *name ## TypeToString(int type); \
Yes you are correct. I was thinking of qemuBuildSerialChrDeviceProps() but it does not return ret directly from this function. Another reason it makes me uncomfortable.

Below is cleaner IMO: we don't repeat code, and the flow is much clearer.
If you look at other functions for example qemuBuildVirtioDevProps() etc they follow the previous style. I think it's fine to return NULL from multiple points.
In any case if the maintainers are fine with it , I'm ok. Style is trivial.
