Subject: [PATCH 2/3] platform/chrome: Protect cros_ec_device lifecycle with ref_proxy
The cros_ec_device can be unregistered when the underlying device is
removed. Other kernel drivers that interact with the EC may hold a
pointer to the cros_ec_device, creating a risk of a use-after-free
error if the EC device is removed while still being referenced.
To prevent this, leverage the ref_proxy library and convert the
underlying device drivers to resource providers of cros_ec_device.
