[PATCH] charger_manager: update charge profile upon temperature zone change

[Ramakrishna Pallala]

Battery vendors like UER suggest to program Low Charge Voltage in case
of high or low temperatures. So a battery can have different charge profile
with in the battery operating temperature limits.

Next, there could be events like drop or rise in VBUS voltage in that case
we might have to adjust the charge current to stabilize VBUS voltage.

This patch allows the Charger-Manager to adjust the charging parameters
upon events like VBUS rise or drop and allows batteries to have multiple
charge profiles for different temperature zones.
