Hello.

Could you please move "ret = power_supply_register(&client->dev, &chip->battery);" back to max17042_probe()?

That will enable other depending devices to probe without much concerning about synchronizing probe time.

For the data availability, max17042 can return -EAGAIN with its property function when its init function is not complete.


Cheers!
MyungJoo.
