Are you sure that this was the reason of interrupt storm? Not incorrect
SoC value (read from register for ModelGauge m3 while not configuring
fuel gauge model).

You should only clear bits which you are awaken for... Have in mind that
in DT-configuration the fuel gauge is most likely broken by missing
configuration. With alert enabled, several other config fields should be
cleared.

Best regards,
