This takes precedence over min-length. What if both are set? The logic
should probably check and use NLA_POLICY_RANGE

Perhaps this should use NLA_POLICY_MIN_LEN ? In fact the current code
looks broken to me because the NLA_BINARY len check in validate_nla() is
a max length check, right?

The alternative is you emit an explicit initializer that includes the
correct NLA_VALIDATE_* type and sets type, min and/or max.
