At first glance, cros_ec_check_result() is quite like cros_ec_map_error(). They check for `ec_msg->result` and return corresponding errors. However, as calling from `pkt_xfer` and `cmd_xfer`, cros_ec_check_result() should not report furthermore errors. -EAGAIN is the only exception. See [1][2][3] for some known userland programs' code. The return code from ioctl only denotes the EC communication status. Userland programs would further analyze the `result` in struct cros_ec_command* for follow-up actions (e.g. [4]). To clarify, update the function comment.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
