Hi,

Sorry for late response, but I finally got some time to look at this.
This driver looks very similar to max17042_battery.c fuel gauge
driver. Obtaining some properties looks exactly the same. The
difference seems to be in new properties. The I2C address is the same.

I highly recommend to extend the max17042 driver instead. It already
supports also max17047, max17050 and max77693.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
