No worries :-)

Downstream reports it in
https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/google-modules/bms/+/refs/heads/android-gs-raviole-mainline/max1720x_battery.c#2400

so upstream should do, too.

Just to clarify, has_nvmem can stay here in the driver, just rsense should
go into DT is what I mean.

Downstream uses the upper bits for max77759:
https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/google-modules/bms/+/refs/heads/android-gs-raviole-mainline/max_m5.h#135

I don't know what the original max17201/5 report in this register
for those bits, though. Given for max77759 this register returns
the firmware version, I assume the lower bits can change.
