Seems like you're fixing my code to do what was originally intended :-)

The maxpin member was something I introduced for sparse ranges
which would auto-register "dummy pins" for those not included in the
enumeration.

That doesn't quite work, so was left behind.

I'll try applying the patches and see what happens.
