After this patch, 'struct samsung_cmu_info' size should be added
to kernel image and then the size of deleted code should be removed
from kernel image. I think that it is not bloating.
(struct samsung_cmu_info includes the pointer and integer value.)
This patch make the code more simple and improve the readability.
And, the samsung_cmu_register_on() requires the 'const' type
argument for 'struct samsung_cmu_info'.
