net: dsa: check out-of-range ageing time

The ageing time limits supported by DSA drivers vary depending on the
switch model. If a driver returns -ERANGE for out-of-range values, the
switchdev commit phase will fail with the following stacktrace:

    [ 8530.257852] br0: failed (err=-34) to set attribute (id=5)

This patchset fixes this by adding ageing_time_min and ageing_time_max
fields to the dsa_switch structure, which can optionally be set by a DSA
driver.

If provided, the DSA core will check for out-of-range values in the
SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_BRIDGE_AGEING_TIME prepare phase and return -ERANGE
accordingly.

Finally set these limits in the mv88e6xxx driver.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
