I'll remove tightly coupled dependency between IIO and Charger-manager.

I'll fix it as below:
temp = CM_TEMP_NORMAL;	/* Overheat */
-> temp = CM_TEMP_OVERHEAT;	/* Overheat */

Also, as you mentioned, this patch haven't included the converting sequence
from ADC value to correct temperature because currently iio driver haven't
support this feature. So, I'm going to discuss this issue on following mailing thread:
- https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/10/26/42

If I find proper method to get temperature on IIO driver, I'll modify it.

Thanks for your comment.

Best Regards,
Chanwoo Choi
