Forgot to check when porting from downstream. max-speed is seldom used 
in Linux kernel and it is indeed specific to devices on UART as does a 
quick "git grep max-speed drivers/" tell me. I'll send a v2 with that 
property removed but will leave a few days/weeks for comments, there's 
no hurry. Sorry for the noise.
