Just some minor remarks.
NB: I see that you are writing from a private email address
so if you're working as a hobbyist on your precious sparetime
I have lower expectation on how much work you will put into
this, so see it more as suggestions than demands.
My overall feedback is that for algorithmic charger what
we need is infrastructure. What is currently piling up in
drivers/power/supply scares me a bit in it's lack of
framework and code reuse.
It also scares me because this is vital technology dealing
with physical devices and as such really need to have
modularized reusable reviewed code with several users
and deployments.
Code reuse would include:
- Mathematical helpers such as interpolation of
values from absolute values or tables
Suggestions below!
- State machines and transitions
- CC/CV alorithms (using the above)
- Many other things
Not that *I* can make the situation much better, I'm just
sharing my fears,

How are these things not library functions?
Every cell of my brain says this code should be reusable.
Can you put this in <linux/fixp-arith.h>?
I bet a million to one that the video people will sooner or later
need linear interpolation and there are more users in the kernel
than drivers/power/, certainly drivers/iio as well.
If noone else says anything I vote to put at least the linear
interpolation into <linux/fixp-arith.h> with a bonus if you
move some of the current users in drivers/power over
while you're at it.

This code really needs some comments to tell what is going on
here. Also I sense that you can break out a smaller function
for interpolation based on table values, such as a function
that would take a standard format of tables, look up where we
are in that table and interpolate from the neighboring values.
People can then later go in and refine the algorithms if they
e.g. want to introduce spline or RMS interpolation instead
and we can get better interpolation for everybody.

So then only this would really remain: pass a table and interpolate.

Reuse of regmap is very nice, thanks for doing it this way.

These indeed need to be mostly hardware-specific so they
are fine.

Very nice that you use IIO ADC as a back-end.

That deserves a comment I think. Like what the manual
says about this and why the raw temperature is given
like this.
Maybe you want to use DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST()
or DIV_ROUND_UP() from <linux/kernel.h> instead
of just "/"?
Maybe you want to use that in other places too like
the below divisions.

So I guess you fit the capacity between 0..100, please
add some comment on what's going on here.

So that is a coloumb counter interrupt? Please add some
comment on when this gets called. Is it called whenever
a coloumb is added/removed from the battery?

These tables (that I also suggest to use libraries to parse)
should probably have standardized DT names so other
battery drivers can use the same properties and we can
use the same DT parsing code for all.

OCV = original coloumb counter value?
Please expand the acronym somewhere because I get
a bit lost.
Overall it is a very nicely coded driver. My worries are
all about code reuse, not code quality per se.
