The call to bnxt_ptp_cfg_pin() after the swith will return -ENOTSUPP for
invalid pin IDs. So I did not feel like adding more changes was necessary.

We can return an error if you insist, but what should it be ? -EINVAL ?
-ENODEV ? -ENOTSUPP ? Given that bnxt_ptp_cfg_pin() return -ENOTSUPP, we
could use that code.
