For some device driver SysFS attributes, values read may not be
acceptable input values for that attribute.
An example would be the group of qeth VNICC attributes that return "n/a"
when VNICC setup is not supported, but only accept "0" and "1" as valid
values that can be written to it.
This leads to errors such as the following when data for such attributes
is imported:
# chzdev f500 --import test.conf
Importing configuration data from test.conf
QETH device 0.0.f500:0.0.f501:0.0.f502 configure failed
Error: Invalid value for qeth attribute: vnicc/flooding=n/a (*)
Acceptable values:
- Integers in the range 0 - 1
Use 'chzdev qeth --help-attribute vnicc/flooding' for more information
Note: You can use --force to override safety checks (*)
To fix this, change chzdev's --export function to skip any attribute
value that is not acceptable for that attribute.
