Writing length 0 bytes to cros_ec_lpc_io_bytes_mec() changes the
function to basically this:

	cros_ec_lpc_mec_lock();
	/* Initialize I/O at desired address */
	cros_ec_lpc_mec_emi_write_address(offset, access);
	cros_ec_lpc_mec_unlock();

	return 0;

I was a little concerned about the cros_ec_lpc_mec_emi_write_address()
But I don't know this subsystem at all so it might be fine.

Perhaps the cleanest thing is to delete the length == 0 check in
cros_ec_lpc_mec_in_range() and add one to the start of
cros_ec_lpc_io_bytes_mec().

I think that's a good solution.
