`last_event_time` was introduced later than this commit, in 05a3c420eaa6
("platform/chrome: cros-ec: Record event timestamp in the hard irq").

Applied to

    https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/chrome-platform/linux.git for-next

[1/1] platform/chrome: cros_ec_rpmsg: record last_event_time on host event
      commit: 4efef5ee9c41dc7cb9fa8ed67c0831be669702ca

I have shortened the commit message (and updated the Fixes tag) as the
original one was a bit verbose.  Providing extra background context is
helpful for review, but please consider putting it below the "---"
separator in the future so that they will not be in the commit message.

Thanks!
