Sorry for the delay. This arrived too close to the 6.9 merge window.
I had a look now and while the patch looks fine to me on a conceptual
level, it did not apply. It looks like you used a pre-2024 kernel tree
to generate the patch against. Please always use something recent base
tree (and ideally use git's --base option to document the used
parent commit).

Other than that I just applied a series from Andrew, which cleans up
the register caching in bq27xxx and removed most registers from the
cache. That's something I did not consider earlier, since I thought
the cache was introduced to fix a different issue. But that was
apparently sbs-battery and not bq27xxx.

Anyways, there is only two registers left in the cache now. I'm fine
with having a per-register cache for them, if that is still needed
to further reduce I2C traffic on your device.

And... re-reading your problem description, I wonder if we need to
reintroduce the caching for all registers (on a per register basis)
to avoid userspace being able to do a denial of service by quickly
polling the battery information.

Any thoughts?
