I have not looked through all drivers to be sure, but at least the gpio-keys 
driver requires set_debounce to return an error if it can't satisfy the request. 
In that case gpio-keys will use a software timer instead. 

                if (button->debounce_interval) {
                        error = gpiod_set_debounce(bdata->gpiod,
                                        button->debounce_interval * 1000);
                        /* use timer if gpiolib doesn't provide debounce */
                        if (error < 0)
                                bdata->software_debounce =
                                                button->debounce_interval;
                }

Also, at least some other GPIO drivers (e.g. gpio-max7760) return -EINVAL in 
such a case. And gpiolib will return -ENOTSUPP if there is no debounce 
callback at all. So I expect all drivers which use gpiod_set_debounce() to 
handle error returns gracefully. 

So I certainly understand the concern about backwards compatibility, but I 
think clipping to max is the greater of the evils in this case. Even a 
warning may be too much, because it's not necessarily anything wrong. 
Perhaps an info or debug message would be helpful, though?

If you prefer, I can try to go through all callers of gpiod_set_debounce()
and see how they'd handle an error return. The handful I've looked through so 
far all behave like gpio-keys. The only ones I'd be particularly concerned
about are platform-specific drivers which were perhaps never used with other
gpio drivers. Do you know of that I should pay special attention to?
