Ok, fair enough, I assume developers will test it anyway to ensure no crash. Will remove this check.

Switch was more for extensibility when other vendor has similar issue,
but we can refactor when needed in the future. I can use if-statement for now.

I realized this in day-1, I think this range change does not matter much.
`TPM_TIMEOUT_RANGE_US=300` is already used in the codebase, I assume people define
such if for general use cases for usleep_range in TPM
But we can add two fields if that makes us more comfortable to strictly follow the current code
semantically.
