Given that fixed values would result in a different histogram that would 
likely be unusable by a userspace application that doesn't expect the control 
values to be changed (and if it did, it should set correct values to start 
with), I think -EINVAL is better. As Hans pointed out on IRC, this should be 
implemented in the .try_ctrl() handler.
