+5. Notify Charger-Manager of charger events: cm_notify_event()
+=========================================================
+If there is an charger event is required to notify
+Charger Manager, a charger device driver that triggers the event can call
+cm_notify_event(psy, type, msg) to notify the corresponding Charger Manager.
+In the function, psy is the charger driver's power_supply pointer, which is
+associated with Charger-Manager. The parameter "type"

+optional and is effective only if the event type is "UNDESCRIBED" or "OTHERS".
