Thanks, queued. I wonder if you need a second patch to also disable
the monitoring for suspend (and re-enable on resume)?

That should be probably somehow configurable. DT property? As some boards
might continue to drain power in suspended state and disabling gas gauge
might cause inaccuracy in battery charge after some time. The same will
happen when charging device in suspended (or even disabled) state.

For now, yes, that would probably make sense.
The gauge also has "alert" functionality, once that is enabled in the
driver, the monitoring shouldn't be disabled and the device would even
be able to wake the system. But that's no concern yet, so just stopping
it on suspend would be better for now.

The monitoring function only reads voltage and temperature using the built-in
ADC. This ADC is not used for the "gas gauge" function, that's an analog
integrator and counter circuit.
It is possible to disable the integrator/counter but, as you correctly state,
that would defeat the purpose of the chip (it's only temporarily disabled when
changing the device's configuration).
In power-down (and maybe suspend) the driver only disables the
temperature/voltage ADC but does *not* stop the counter. The ADC consumes
several mA while in use (once every few seconds, you'll get a short current
spike because of the monitoring), that is why it should be disabled when the
board is "off" (the battery will continue to power the gas gauge in that state).
