This way it spews error message when none of the attributes provided by
user is supported by device.
I can remove the check if improving error message for the other check
right below, but that is the expected conditional if the same error
message has to be kept.

If you can live with numeric representing the attributes instead of
straight attribute string, certainly I can do that. Or else I anticipate
userspace to query and fail the command rather than present attribute
strings in kernel.
