Ok, I'll do

As far as I'm aware, += is append[0]. It's used for stuff like
obj-$(CONFIG_CHROMEOS_LAPTOP) += chromeos_laptop.o
because the left part will resolve to "obj-y" or similar, and you want
to add to it, not replace it. I only changed the Makefile here because
the line was growing too long, and I thought it looked neater this way;
it shouldn't cause any functional change apart from the intended one.

Not all machines have a lightbar either; both of the features are
runtime-conditional. IMO, it makes more sense this way when you consider
a kernel will likely support multiple platforms.

The params struct is the same for both read and write ops, so it has the
op flag and a buffer for the write op. During the read op I believe
there's no need to send this potentially-garbage-filled buffer to the
EC, so outsize is set accordingly here.
The vendor tree does it this way, but I can change it to send the full
buffer if you prefer so.
ec code is at

This is just me being paranoid about memcpy :) Indeed, the struct should
be way smaller than a page. I can drop it if you think it's too much.
