No, now no users in mainline have called cm_notify_event() function,
and if some charger drivers want to use the charger manager, they
should select CHARGER_MANAGER, like:
config CHARGER_SC2731
        tristate "Spreadtrum SC2731 charger driver"
        depends on MFD_SC27XX_PMIC || COMPILE_TEST
        select CHARGER_MANAGER

Yes, this also can work, and either way is okay for me. Sebastian,
what do you prefer? Thanks.
