Looks mostly good. Two comments inline.

It looks as if all these register addresses (with the exception of REG_SOC)
are the same as the BQ27X00 register address minus 4.

What do you think about applying this offset in bq27x00_read? This would
safe us a lot of these

	if (di->chip == BQ27425)
		curr = bq27x00_read(di, BQ27425_REG_..., false);
	else
		curr = bq27x00_read(di, BQ27x00_REG_..., false);

Maybe it makes sense to put this check in a small helper function, this will
make it less noisy to add another chip with a similar register layout.
