No entirely sure about this.  What about the case when ioret == -1, is
this an error/failure?  In other tests this is reported as a failure,
where as in this case it seems to be silently ignored.

In this test case, we do the setvariable with the invalid attributes.
We expects the firmware return a fail for the setvariable, ioret == -1. 
If not, will give an warnings.
