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 revocable and convert the underlying device drivers to resource providers of cros_ec_device.
