s/_/-/ in proeprty names please.
Why is this property in the dt at all?
Surely the driver can choose the value it wants.
The driver can choose a sensible value, surely?

Likewise, surely the driver should decide if it wants this?

Could you elaborate on what these are for. How variable are these
between batteries?

These names are a bit odd.
How about maxim,charge-empty and maxim,charge-full (perhaps
maxim,charge-empty-design).

I have no idea what these properties mean, so I can't comment on them as
they are other than to say this looks a bit low-level. Are there any
docs?

This portion of the example looks fine.

You did not describe that any of these were 8-bit values in the binding.

These weren't described as signed.

These weren't described as 8-bit either.

This looks scary.
Thanks,
