I meant that same measurement should be used for both: for PROP_CAPACITY
and for alerts.

I double checked the driver and your change is actually aligned with it.
If !enable_current_sense, the driver will set MiscCFG to 0x3 to use
VFSOC for alerts. I think you can ignore that part of my comment before.

However still remaining issue is that switching to VFSoc should happen
not only if !enable_current_sense but also if ModelGauge m3 is not
configured.

Are you sure? I could not find setting of these (e.g.
MAX17042_FullCAP/config->fullcap) for a DT platform.

Best regards,
