I don't have access to the datasheet for MT6332 as well - but anyway, the only
purpose of the max_leds variable is to validate the maximum number of 'reg'
spaces that we're supposed to read from devicetree, that's all.

The alternative would've been to check if there's any led, then any wled in the
mt6323_hwspec from platform data - then:

if only wleds, max_leds = wleds;
else if only leds, max_leds = leds;
else if leds and wleds, max_leds = leds + wleds;

You see that it doesn't make any sense to do such check, and we can go with
just adding wleds+leds.
