mfd: cros_ec: Read EC features during probe to catch transfer error

Browse source

cros_ec_check_features() does not return an error if the underlying
EC_CMD_GET_FEATURES command fails. Consequently, when the Fingerprint
device fails to respond, the probe function ignores the failure and falls
back to installing it as 'cros_ec' device instead of 'cros_fp'.
This leads to a sysfs duplicate filename collision later when the real
'cros_ec' device attempts to register:

  cros-ec-spi spi5.0: EC failed to respond in time
  cros-ec-dev.19.auto: cannot get EC features: -110
  sysfs : cannot create duplicate filename '/class/chromeos/cros_ec'
        : sysfs_do_create_link_sd+0x94/0xdc
        : ec_device_probe+0x150/0x4f0

Fix this by explicitly calling the newly introduced cros_ec_read_features()
function. If the transfer fails, abort the broken device initialization.
Move the initialization of class_dev before this call to prevent a missing
release() callback warning on the error path.
