Id assume you would not have to run those tests if ATT over BR/EDR is
not supported:

4.5.72 TP/GAR/CL/BI-35-C [Read Characteristic Value \u2013 Invalid
Transport Access over
LE]
Verify Generic Attribute Profile client behavior when an attempt to
use LE transport to execute
the Read Characteristic Value procedure on a characteristic contained
within a service defined
for use only over BR/EDR transport.

Without BR/EDR there is no reason to run this test as all the
attributes should be valid.
