No need for the !!: !ret && val.intval .

sbs_get_battery_presence_and_health also reads
sbs_data[REG_STATUS].addr. That's good.

However, with psp == POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_PRESENT,
sbs_get_battery_presence_and_health always returns 0, but sets
val.intval = 0 in case of error.

This means that you goto exit_psupply with rc == 0, and sbs_probe does not fail.

I wonder if you should just drop this change, and use
sbs_read_word_data(client, sbs_data[REG_STATUS].addr); above, too.
