Per Documentation/power/power_supply_class.txt and power_supply.h:

/*
 * All voltages, currents, charges, energies, time and temperatures in uV,
 * µA, µAh, µWh, seconds and tenths of degree Celsius unless otherwise
 * stated. It's driver's job to convert its raw values to units in which
 * this class operates.
 */

Feel free to fix the offending drivers.

Thanks,
