If maximum is not set, you'll have other issues anyway. But it really
boils down on what the default behaviour should be.

If an axis is setup in the DT but not registered in the driver,
something is wrong, most probably the DT.

You were very welcome to review this patch at the time and/or suggest
a fix that pleases everyone.
