Pardon me, I should test them earlier.

I misunderstood. The patch will cause kernel crash (NULL dereference)
because cros_ec_query_all() relies on `din` and `dout` for getting protocol
info and then it reallocates the buffers according to the info later.

I think we should just leave them as they are. Will drop this patch and next
patch ([v3,14/23] platform/chrome: don't use devm variants for `din` and
`dout`).
