I don't really like function calls during declaration time.

If you make the call here, you don't have to leave a pointless '\n'
between it and checking the return value.

Is it useful for callers of cros_ec_cmd_xfer() to ever not do this?
If not, why don't you make these changes in cros_ec_cmd_xfer() itself?
