Please point me to a driver, which just exposes the voltage.

So why are you not doing it now? Adding current, state of charge,
temperature and OCV is trivial. I'm not talking about supporting
every feature of the chip, but just the bits that are a simple
mapping between standard power supply properties and a chip
register.
