Most of this similar sub-device registration seems to have moved to
cros_ec_dev.c, in ec_device_probe(). Should this do the same?

And on a similar note: is there a way to determine EC support for this
feature (e.g., EC_FEATURE_*)? Or do we just have to listen for
appropriate throttling events that may never come?

Also, is this very useful on non-DT systems? Does this fail gracefully?
