[PATCH v1] i3c: master: svc: Use manual response for IBI events

From: Stanley Chu <yschu at nuvoton.com>

Using IBIRESP_AUTO causes the hardware to ACK IBI requests even when the
target is not in the device list. The svc_i3c_master_nack_ibi() has no
effect in such case.

AutoIBI has another issue that the controller doesn't quit AutoIBI state
after an IBIWON polling timeout. The following sequence is the case:
1. Target pulls SDA low
2. SLVSTART interrupt triggers the IBI ISR
3. Target releases SDA
4. Driver writes AutoIBI request to MCTRL
5. SDA is high, so AutoIBI process does not start
6. IBIWON polling times out
7. Controller state is AutoIBI and doesn't accept EmitStop request

Emitting broadcast address with IBIRESP_MANUAL avoids both issues.
