Right, I agree with this - unless the user explicitly states they want the
pre-created vHBA to be managed, we don't force any setting. I was wondering
though, what about a use case when the user wants the vHBA to be auto-created,
but non-managed at the same time...(yeah, I know I'm stretching it a bit with
these unlikely scenarios, but then, you'd surely agree, you've already seen
some of similar sort and one can never expect what creative ways of defining
the XML are there to be found :))
I was also about to point out in the previous version, that I didn't like how
complex virNodeDeviceCreateVport was getting - do wwnn and wwpn relate to a
vHBA at all or is it a regular HBA, does the vHBA exist already or should we
actually create and manage it.

As I'm writing below, if you want to go for a partial revert, this patch needs
to be split in 2, it's never a good idea to move code segments and doing
adjustments to it at the same time.

Firstly, this patch is trying to do 2 things at once - a partial revert of
commit and then altering a check to fix a BZ, it's easier for a reviewer to
both track and read, I also think it will potentially make anyone who's going
to later look at the git history in the future happier.
Secondly, @ret is already initialized to -1 when entering ^this block and I
don't find it that much readable when you potentially set it twice and do
something that is already handled in the cleanup section. Since we return 0
either when the vHBA exist AND no parent to be checked was provided or when both
the name and the parent which satisfies the sanity check was provided I
suggest squashing the following in instead:
