The correct current measurement scaling can either be found in the
TPS23881B datasheet revised in May 2025 or computed from the legacy sense
resistor value (255 mOhm / 200 mOhm * 70.19 uA = 89.50 uA). I was able to
verify the corrected scaling using power measurement instruments.

Right. I'll resubmit this patch to net.
