This is a follow-up series of [1]. It tries to fix a possible UAF in the fops of cros_ec_chardev after the underlying protocol device has gone by using revocable.
The 1st patch introduces the revocable which is an implementation of ideas from the talk [2].
The 2nd and 3rd patches add test cases for revocable in Kunit and selftest.
The 4th patch converts existing protocol devices to resource providers of cros_ec_device.
The 5th patch converts cros_ec_chardev to a resource consumer of cros_ec_device to fix the UAF.
