The maximum register is whatever the maximum register we know about for
the device is, the datasheet is generally a good reference there.

I would expect that if you have two separate register maps they would
have separate configurations that describe the corresponding physical
register maps, as far as I can tell this driver is just making up a
maximum register number.
