This would affect any systems where we have chained ECs. Samus (Chromebook
Pixel 2015) has its PD EC hooked up in this way. Practically speaking,
that would mean that the cros_usbpd-charger power supply driver may not work
correctly.

I don't think we expect any other systems to have this configuration,
but the first one we shipped did, so we will have to support it.

Thanks,
Benson
