same comments as for the btemp driver.

Static variable definitions never belong in a header file. If you want to
share these between multiple drivers, put a single copy in one file and
make the symbols extern (or even exported).

If they are used in only one driver, just put the tables into that driver.
You probably want to make them 'const' as well.

I think for this driver it makes more sense to put all the information into
the struct ab8500_fg rather than having some of it in abx500_bm_plat_data,
so you can skip the allocation part here. In case of static platform
definitions, just copy the pointers from the platform data into the
ab8500_fg data.
