[PATCH v3 06/11] power: supply: max17042: avoid overflow when determining health
From: André Draszik
Date: Mon Mar 02 2026 - 08:36:43 EST
If vmax has the default value of INT_MAX (e.g. because not specified in
DT), battery health is reported as over-voltage. This is because adding
any value to vmax (the vmax tolerance in this case) causes it to wrap
around, making it negative and smaller than the measured battery
voltage.
Avoid that by using size_add().
