Those macros just shouldn't be setting platform_max at all, the whole
goal with platform_max is that it overrides what the driver is doing for
platform specific reasons.  This is supposed to be overridable by the
machine integration, but looking now it looks like it's got lost in the
shuffle, I can't see any mechanism to configure it via DT or machine
drivers right now though I think there might be some out of tree drivers
that do it or perhaps I'm doing the wrong greps.

That's entirely correct in that if it's not been overridden by the
platform then we should just use whatever the driver provided.

Don't do double assignments like this, they're confusing.
