I believe it is the most appropriate approach for our use case at the
moment. If we decide to incorporate more complex event handling or need
to support multiple thresholds in the future, we will definitely
consider using the hwmon subsystem. Thank for your input.

Sure. Will mention max5970 & max5978 in help section.

Yes. will use something like:
ret = regmap_bulk_read(data->regmap, chan->address - 1, ®_l, 2);
if (ret < 0)
return ret;
reg_h = reg_l & 0xff;
reg_l = (reg_l >> 8) & 0xff;
*val = (reg_h << 2) | (reg_l & 3);
