[PATCH 05/11] power: supply: bq257xx: Fix VSYSMIN clamping logic

From: Alexey Charkov

Date: Tue Mar 03 2026 - 10:35:40 EST


The minimal system voltage (VSYSMIN) is meant to protect the battery from
dangerous over-discharge. When the device tree provides a value for the
minimum design voltage of the battery, the user should not be allowed to
set a lower VSYSMIN, as that would defeat the purpose of this protection.

Flip the clamping logic when setting VSYSMIN to ensure that battery design
voltage is respected.
