I think the MAX value does have some utility in the API -- as mentioned
in other comments, if we're requiring that user space must SET all
ranges at the same time, then we need an expected way for user space to
SET a "don't care" or "MAX" or "null" value for a band. So if there's
some new band (e.g., 6 GHz?) that user space was not previously aware
of, it will know to use this placeholder.

I think that's kind of approximately what the purpose of this was? It's
not super clear in the documentation, so maybe that should be clarified
in writing in v2.
