We have a prototype [without lightbar] where the command size was
limited to 128 bytes.
Given we issue a get_lightbar_version on all chromebooks, we had a
failure on this prototype. Devices with a lightbar must support a
command size greater or equal to 194 bytes.
Beside helping the prototype to boot, this patch slightly speeds up
the enumeration of devices managed by the EC.

Done in v3.
Note I made a mistake by sending the patch to linux-iio as it targeted
platform/chromeos.
