Yes, 2048 is the default value (aka ILMD), which chip have set, if lost calibration data for some reason.

As for that wiki info, it's outdated - we're using exactly this chip for bnf, and kernel-power module bq27x00_battery uses it, too. Whole BME replacement is also using this chip.

BTW, "shutting down before calibration" wasn't entirely true, either. old, vanilla BME used sophisticated algorithm to "guess" when low voltage spikes could affect GSM modem, and shutdown then - so, it wasn't shutting down at certain treesholds. For most intents and purposes, it indeed was shutting down before EDV1, although, with some patience (and masochists nature), it was possible to calibrate with BME running. The bigger capacity/more cells battery had, the more stable voltage was at near edv1, so it was easier with dual cell setup.

Anyway, now those problems are gone - upcoming bme replacement will ensure, that calibration was done, before shutting down.
