The only official documentation I can find is in Documentation/input/ff.txt and it doesn't say anything about the max for 'value'. I had a look at the kernel source instead. input_handle_event() in input.c only checks whether 'value' is >= 0 for EV_FF (which is why the event is ignored for INFINITE), ml_ff_playback() in ff-memless.c sets 'state->count' (which is an 'int') to 'value' and ml_get_combo_effect() finally counts down 'state->count' until it reaches zero. So there really is no limit here (accept what's given by the data type).

I've submitted a final patch. I don't think there's anything more I can do to improve it.
