At first glance, cros_ec_check_result() is quite like cros_ec_map_error(). They check for `ec_msg->result` and return corresponding errors. However, as calling from `pkt_xfer` and `cmd_xfer`, cros_ec_check_result() should not report furthermore errors. -EAGAIN is the only exception.
See [1][2][3] for some known userland programs' code. The return code from ioctl only denotes the EC communication status. Userland programs would further analyze the `result` in struct cros_ec_command* for follow-up actions (e.g. [4]).
To clarify, update the function comment.
