Clang static analysis reports this problem
drivers/platform/chrome/cros_ec_lpc.c:379:13: warning: The left operand
  of '!=' is a garbage value [core.UndefinedBinaryOperatorResult]
    if (buf[0] != 'E' || buf[1] != 'C') {
         ~~~~~~ ^

The check depends on the side effect of the read.  When the read fails
or is short, a buf containing garbage could be mistaken as correct.
