These were described as optional in the binding. It wasn't clear that to
have one you need the others. It would be nice for that to be clarified
in the binding.
Yes, since they are optional then we'll return NULL here, that means no platform data provided.
The "if" statement checked if nothing was provided in DT then there is not platform data.

Since, you requested to remove above binding from DT and make the driver to take care, then I'll move them to sysfs.

As mentioned in my comments on the binding document, I don't think this
property is necessary at all.
Yes, I will move it into driver.

+&pdata->hibernate_threshold);
+ of_property_read_u8(np, "maxim,active_threshold",
+&pdata->active_threshold);

+ of_property_read_u16(np, "maxim,overvoltage",&pdata->overvoltage);

Ditto for above.

Here you seem to be using of_find_property to check if a property is
present, but earlier you used of_get_property for this purpose. It would
be nice if one or the other were used consistently.
Since above code will be removed then only this parameter will be used for battery specific data presence check.

+ if (prop) {
+ pdata->model = devm_kzalloc(dev, sizeof(*pdata->model),
+ GFP_KERNEL);
+ if (!pdata->model)
+ return NULL;
+
+ of_property_read_u8(np, "maxim,empty_adjustment",
+&pdata->model->empty_adjustment);
+ of_property_read_u8(np, "maxim,full_adjustment",
+&pdata->model->full_adjustment);
+ of_property_read_u8(np, "maxim,rcomp0",
+&pdata->model->rcomp0);
+ prop = of_find_property(np, "maxim,temp_co_up", NULL);
+ if (prop)
+ pdata->model->temp_co_up = be32_to_cpup(prop->value);
Use of_property_read_u32. If it can't read the property it won't
modify the pointer it's been handed, and it handles the endianness
conversion.

You seem to be happy to use of_property_read_u{8,16}, so I don't
understand why you are treating 32-bit differently.
Because the this property is signed. So I can't use of_property_read_u32.

+ prop = of_find_property(np, "maxim,temp_co_down", NULL);
+ if (prop)
+ pdata->model->temp_co_down = be32_to_cpup(prop->value);
Likewise.
Ditto.

+ of_property_read_u16(np, "maxim,ocvtest",
+&pdata->model->ocvtest);
While you've checked that this property was present earlier, you don't
know it's size. You might want to check the return value of
of_property_read_u16 (and you might want to do so for other accessors
too).
Ok, I will add checking of of_property_read_XX() return values.

+ of_property_read_u8(np, "maxim,soc_check_a",
+&pdata->model->soc_check_a);
+ of_property_read_u8(np, "maxim,soc_check_b",
+&pdata->model->soc_check_b);
+ of_property_read_u8(np, "maxim,bits",
+&pdata->model->bits);
+ of_property_read_u16(np, "maxim,rcomp_seg",
+&pdata->model->rcomp_seg);
+ }
+
+ prop = of_find_property(np, "maxim,model_data", NULL);
+ if (prop&& prop->length == MODELGAUGE_TABLE_SIZE) {
+ pdata->model->model_data = devm_kzalloc(dev,
+ MODELGAUGE_TABLE_SIZE,
+ GFP_KERNEL);
+ if (!pdata->model->model_data)
+ return NULL;
+
+ of_property_read_u8_array(np, "maxim,model_data",
+ pdata->model->model_data,
+ MODELGAUGE_TABLE_SIZE);
+ }
It's probably worth printing a warning or error if this isn't the size
you expect (perhaps failing to probe).
okay.

Thanks,
Mark.
