All of the blocks on the PM8x41 series have their own version numbers.
There's no need to look at the chip revision.

In fact, the SMBB (charger) documentation (80-NA555-12) specifically
refers to the SMBB_MISC block revision registers as the method for
determining the hardware version. The "qpnp-charger" SMBB driver in the
CAF 3.4 & 3.10 trees utilizes block specific revision numbers, as do the
"qpnp-bms" BMS driver, the "qpnp-adc-current" IADC driver, and the
"qpnp-adc-voltage" VADC driver.

The revision of the PMIC itself should be completely irrelevant to any
of the software interfacing with it.
