There are 2 "response" in the context: struct response_info vs.
struct ec_host_response.  The pointer `response` here is only used for
setting `exp_len`.

I would suggest to introduce another pointer:
    struct response_info *resp = &ec_uart->response;
So that most of the following "ec_uart->response." could simplify to
"resp->".

Please drop the extra space.

Ditto, if using another pointer to struct response_info could simplify the
function a bit.

To make it clear, please drop the initialization and set it to 0 just right
before it is used.

The function is long.  Setting sum to 0 before the loop improves the
readability.

The assignment can move somewhere before calling cros_ec_uart_acpi_probe().

Using `ec_uart->serdev` here makes less sense.  Please use `serdev` directly.
