I have the BQ25890 evaluation board.
Using an Anker PowerPort+ 1 (Model A2132) wall adapter that is on the certified list from Qualcomm, the BQ25890 only detects it as a DCP and sets it for 5V @ 3.5A.
Using a previous model (Model A2130), which is not on the certified list, the BQ25890 does negotiate to a HVDCP (12V @ 1.5A).
Suggestions on what to try? Can you provide a list of wall chargers that are proven to work with the BQ25890?
