As I mentioned in the other patch, it seems there is a (noticeable)
delay in getting the value to reflect in this register for IBB.
Also, from the notes from the downstream driver (also copied below),
it seems like during short circuit there is another protection system
that can cause the registers to be cleared, hence the need to track
the current state in software.

IMHO, This seems to be the time required by the PBS to actually
disable the regulator? If the PBS is not able to disable the
regulator, then it points to a more serious problem?
I'm sorry, that's just my understanding based on the downstream driver
:/ - not much input is available from the QC teams about it.

Right - I'm not sure what else can I do here.

Agreed, and will update in the next version.
Best,
Sumit.
