It will set opt->str in qemu_opt_set_bool, without opt->str, there will be some potential bugs.
These are uses of opt->str, and what happens when it isn't set: * qemu_opt_get(): returns NULL, which means "not set". Bug can bite when value isn't the default value. * qemu_opt_parse(): passes NULL to parse_option_bool(), which treats it like "on". Wrong if the value is actually false. Bug can bite when qemu_opts_validate() runs after qemu_opt_set_bool(). * qemu_opt_del(): passes NULL to g_free(), which is just fine. * qemu_opt_foreach(): passes NULL to the callback, which is unlikely to be prepared for it. * qemu_opts_print(): prints NULL, which crashes on some systems. * qemu_opts_to_qdict(): passes NULL to qstring_from_str(), which crashes. It also makes qemu_opt_set_bool more readable by using find_desc_by_name and opts_accepts_any. It is based on Luiz's patch and uses Markus's comments.
