The gauge requires us to clear the status bits manually for some alerts to be properly dismissed. Previously the IRQ was configured to react only on falling edge, which wasn't technically correct (the ALRT line is active low), but it had a happy side-effect of preventing interrupt storms on uncleared alerts from happening.

Are you sure that this was the reason of interrupt storm? Not incorrect SoC value (read from register for ModelGauge m3 while not configuring fuel gauge model).
Yes, I am sure. I have observed this on a fully configured max17055 with ModelGauge m5. It also makes sense to me based on what I read in the code and datasheets.
There were two kinds of storms - the short ones happening on each SOC change caused by SOC threshold alerts set by max17042_set_soc_threshold which eventually got cleared by reconfiguring the thresholds; and a huge one happening when SOC got down to 0% that did not get away until the battery got charged to at least 1% at which point the thresholds got reconfigured again (which is how I noticed the underflow fixed by the second patch).
OK, undestood.
Besides, I also have patches for configuring m5 gauge via DT that I'll send once I clean them up.
That's cool! Happy to see such work.
You should only clear bits which you are awaken for... Have in mind that in DT-configuration the fuel gauge is most likely broken by missing configuration. With alert enabled, several other config fields should be cleared.
I have checked all the bits in the Status register and aside of Bst, POR and bunch of "don't-care" bits they're all alert indicators that we either handle explicitly in the interrupt handler (Smn/Smx) or implicitly via power_supply_changed (Imn/Imx, Vmn/Vmx, Tmn/Tmx, dSOCi, Bi/Br). The driver unconditionally enables alerts for SOC thresholds and all the rest stays effectively disabled at POR; however, a bootloader or firmware may configure it differently, which may be wanted for things like resuming from suspend when a bad condition happens. Therefore we need to clear all the bits anyway and I'm not sure whether iterating through them in a "if set then clear" loop gains us anything aside of additional lines of code.
Seems reasonable, you're right. Could you mention this expolanation in commit msg or comment in the code?
Best regards, Krzysztof
