Yes, I've already noticed that max17042_get_status was broken, but it managed 
to slip out of my mind before sending the series - although I haven't caught 
that I'm introducing a yet another breakage there :) I've actually thought 
about removing the unit conversion from this place whatsoever, because this 
function only ever cares about the sign of what's in MAX17042_Current, so it 
doesn't really need to do any division at all.

Best regards,
Sebastian
