When the EC does not support sensor fifo,
cros_ec_motion_send_host_cmd() is on the data path. For instance, it
is called 2 times every 10ms by chrome to calculate the lid angle. I
would be reluctant to call malloc. Given it is well encapsulated into
the sensor stack. Does it make sense to call cros_ec_cmd_xfer
directly?
