The `din` and `dout` are not managed by `ec_dev->dev` but statically
initializing in cros_ec_proto_test_init()(see below).

cros_ec_proto_test_query_all_pretest() sets them to NULL to get rid of the
following warning (as devres_destroy() in devm_kfree() returns -ENOENT):
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 27 at drivers/base/devres.c:1058 devm_kfree

Oops, I just realized qemu still generated yet another warning:
Device '(null)' does not have a release() function, it is broken and ...
Will fix it in next version.
