cros_usbpd_notify_probe_acpi() takes the parent's driver data as the
struct cros_ec_device to talk to. Only the Chrome EC (GOOG0004) stores
one there. On older devices without the updated device hierarchy,
GOOG0003 is a child of the ACPI EC (PNP0C09) instead, as on the 2017
Pixelbook (Eve), and the driver relied on the parent's driver data
being NULL to fall back to sending a 0 event.
Since commit db65a06d10b3 ("ACPI: EC: Convert the driver to a platform
one"), the ACPI EC's platform device stores its struct acpi_ec as driver
data, so on those devices the probe treats a struct acpi_ec as a struct
cros_ec_device. The "Couldn't get Chrome EC device pointer" warning is
no longer printed, and every USB PD notification, e.g. on resume or
charger plug, oopses:
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffff96103220
Oops: Oops: 0002 [#1] SMP PTI
Workqueue: kacpi_notify acpi_os_execute_deferred
RIP: 0010:native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath+0x29d/0x330

When it happens during resume, the machine stays on a black screen.
Only use the parent's driver data when the parent is GOOG0004, as the
probe already does when deciding whether to defer, and continue without
an EC device pointer otherwise.
The root cause was found from the oops logs, and this change and its
changelog were written, with the help of an AI coding assistant. I
reviewed both and tested the fix on the affected hardware.

Notes:
Tested on a 2017 Google Pixelbook (Eve), where GOOG0003 is a child of
PNP0C09, on 7.2.5 (Arch-based distro kernel; none of its patches touch
drivers/platform/chrome or drivers/acpi/ec.c), building this change as
an out-of-tree module:
- without the patch: four oopses with the trace above in the logs, one
3 seconds after resume, and lid-close suspends that never resumed
- with the patch: the probe prints "Couldn't get Chrome EC device
pointer." again; a charger unplug/replug produced 9 USB PD
notifications, all taking the "EC device inaccessible; sending 0
event status" path; suspend with a charger unplug/replug while asleep
resumed normally; no oopses
Not tested: a device where GOOG0003 is a child of GOOG0004 (that path
only moves into the if branch here, its logic is unchanged).
