The minimum and maximum value of the ATU Age Time varies depending on
the switch model. The current code returns -ERANGE for out-of-range

Hi Vivien

I took a look at other switch drivers. mlxsw return ERANGE in the
prepare phase. rocker is not limited, since it is using software
timers.

It seems like the correct way to do this is via a prepare call, or add
min/max fields to struct dsa_switch and let slave.c perform the check.
