They have the same value, so the _MAX code would shadow the real code, causing
issues in any client that needs to get all event names from libevdev.
Specifically, the loop of:
for each code in 0 to max-for-type:
print(name)
would not show up the code (but the _MAX) code instead. This causes issues
with clients that rely on name resolution that works. And the _MAX values are
special values anyway.
Blacklist it in the script here, causing it to resolve from name to code, but
not from code to name (like other duplicated codes).

libevdev - wrapper library for evdev input devices
libevdev is a wrapper library for evdev devices. it moves the common tasks when dealing with evdev devices into a library and provides a library interface to the callers, thus avoiding erroneous ioctls, etc.
git://git.freedesktop.org/git/libevdev http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libevdev/
The eventual goal is that libevdev wraps all ioctls available to evdev devices, thus making direct access unnecessary.
