I wonder what Hans (now cc'd) thinks. I think it's actually a good idea,
given that the minimum and maximum could change dynamically anyway.

If modifying the range results in changing the control value, then this
results in (on I²C devices) an I²C write that can fail.

The CCS driver writes the configuration to the sensor when streaming starts
so there's no actual write operation resulting from this.
