Subject: [PATCH 3/3] platform/chrome: cros_ec_chardev: Consume cros_ec_device via ref_proxy
The cros_ec_chardev driver provides a character device interface to the
ChromeOS EC. A file handle to this device can remain open in userspace
even if the underlying EC device is removed.
This creates a classic use-after-free vulnerability. Any file operation
(ioctl, release, etc.) on the open handle after the EC device has gone
would access a stale pointer, leading to a system crash.
To prevent this, leverage the ref_proxy library and convert
cros_ec_chardev to a resource consumer of cros_ec_device.
