The 104-QUAD-8 only has two count modes where a ceiling value makes
sense: Range Limit and Modulo-N. Outside of these two modes, setting a
ceiling value is an invalid operation -- so let's report it as such by
returning -EINVAL.

We seem to have some inconsistency in the driver about whether
we hold the priv->lock when calling quad8_preset_register_set()

Can we look to make that consistent?
