nvmetcli restore fails in add_subsystem

[Anton Gavriliuk]

Hhmmm.....

The link - https://documentation.suse.com/sles/15-SP6/html/SLES-all/cha-nvmeof.html

is quite confused me,

17.4.3 Marvell

FC-NVMe is supported on QLE269x and QLE27xx adapters. FC-NVMe support
is enabled by default in the Marvell® QLogic® QLA2xxx Fibre Channel
driver.

So if "the qla2xxx driver or/and the HBA firmware do not support the
target mode anymore.", it is not clear, will NVMe/FC target work with
QLE269x and QLE27xx adapters or not.

Long live Emulex!

P.S., I don't like FC, but I want to do some NVMe/FC vs TCP
performance tests, so I must set up NVMe/FC for the tests.
