Yes, but that MAX value is used to loop over the 
qlp_coeff_precision values between MIN and MAX. So, if the 
qlp_coeff_precision value is limited in the loop but MAX is not 
limited, the loop does the exact same thing multiple times: a 
waste of time. Therefore, only the MAX should be limited.

I don't think the logic is needed directly after

because that value is either chosen by the encoder (it is a 
lookup value, and is always small enough not to trigger this, 
set in stream_encoder.c around line 700) or it is set through 
the encoder, in which case it should probably not be overriden 
without notice.
