Comment:

 You can pass it directly but you have to add `deconstruct()` (see
 [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/howto/custom-model-fields/#field-
 deconstruction documentation]):

 {{{
     def deconstruct(self):
         name, path, args, kwargs = super().deconstruct()
         del kwargs['max_length']
         return name, path, args, kwargs
 }}}
