Subject: [PATCH] platform: cros_ec: Reduce ligthbar get version command

By default, the lightbar commands are set to the
biggest lightbar command and response. That length is greater than 128
bytes and may not work on all machines.
But all EC are probed for lightbar by sending a get version request.
Set that request size precisely.

BUG=chromium:160662061
TEST=Before the command would be:
cros_ec_cmd: version: 0, command: EC_CMD_LIGHTBAR_CMD, outsize: 194, insize: 128, result: 0
Afer:
cros_ec_cmd: version: 0, command: EC_CMD_LIGHTBAR_CMD, outsize: 1, insize: 8, result: 0
