'setsebool -P' works but throws errors; changes not permanent

We use Yubikey for two-factor ssh authentication which requires enabling a Boolean called “authlogin_yubikey”. It has been working fine until a few weeks ago. Errors appear when attempting to set the policy:

 

--

[Cent-7:root@my_server home]# getsebool authlogin_yubikey

authlogin_yubikey --> off

 

[Cent-7:root@my_server home]# setsebool -P authlogin_yubikey on

libsepol.context_from_record: type gpio_device_t is not defined

libsepol.context_from_record: could not create context structure

libsepol.context_from_string: could not create context structure

libsepol.sepol_context_to_sid: could not convert system_u:object_r:gpio_device_t:s0 to sid

invalid context system_u:object_r:gpio_device_t:s0

 

[Cent-7:root@my_server home]# getsebool authlogin_yubikey

authlogin_yubikey --> on

---

 

The system accepts two-factor while the above is set to “on”. After some undetermined time (or immediately after a reboot) the Boolean toggles off. This can be confirmed since semanage shows that the default is still set to “off”:

 

--

[Cent-7:root@my_server ~]# semanage boolean -l | grep "authlogin_yubikey"

SELinux boolean                State  Default Description

...

authlogin_yubikey              (on   ,  off)  Allow authlogin to yubikey

--

 

It looks similar to the following bug on Fedora:
