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,

Anton
