ERANGE is a semantically better error code to return when an argument
value falls outside the supported limit range of a device.
#define	ERANGE		34	/* Math result not representable */

Not generally applicable to a parameter being out of range
despite the name.
#define	EINVAL		22	/* Invalid argument */
Is probably closer to what we want to describe here.
