Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 0/3] 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.
