sscanf can return -1 for other errors (ENOMEM included) - I would think
it's safer to check and fail than assume anything.

The point is you're failing silently using 'continue;'. I suppose the
VIR_DEBUG() messages satisfy the need to perhaps determine why the FC
Host "someone" sets up isn't found.  Although that assumes they are
debugging what's wrong with their config.

Also I'm OK that in the 1st condition the VIR_FREE(max_vports) is not
required, it will be in the second condition though.
