[ Upstream commit 57b888ca2541785de2fcb90575b378921919b6c0 ]
Commit 413dda8f2c6f ("platform/chrome: cros_ec_chardev: Use
cros_ec_cmd_xfer_status helper") inadvertendly changed the userspace ABI.
Previously, cros_ec ioctls would only report errors if the EC communication
failed, and otherwise return success and the result of the EC
communication. An EC command execution failure was reported in the EC
response field. The above mentioned commit changed this behavior, and the
ioctl itself would fail. This breaks userspace commands trying to analyze
the EC command execution error since the actual EC command response is no
longer reported to userspace.
Fix the problem by re-introducing the cros_ec_cmd_xfer() helper, and use it
to handle ioctl messages.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
