Why do you need to set them in the first place? The higher speeds need
voltage control, and the lack of said control means the system won't
use them anyway.

max-frequency would apply better in situations where the board layout
can't guarantee proper signal propagation or timing beyond a certain
frequency. Or if that particular controller instance is flawed or
restricted in some way.
