No, I want old API (deprecated in this commit) to really stop returning wrong band from invalid arfcn, so we can really spot messy places (I did that, it was the way to find out some code using that function was wrong in osmo-bsc and doing unexpected stuff which was difficult to spot).

And as discussed here and on IRC, I'm also reluctant to add a new GSM_BAND_INVAL value which is really only be used here, and then we need to adapt all switch cases to handle this case which actually should never happen with the new API (because it returns an error). Let's not add this kind of hacks like adding an enum value to indicate error and better decouple correct values and error codes when input of a function is wrong.
