mipi may not use it because build in dma. If use dma engine, it will be
useful.

__free() dma = i3c_master_dma_map_single()

if (dmaengine_prep_slave_single(dma...) == NULL)
	return -1;

We can define DEFINE_FREE() later when real use it, but i3c_master_dma_unmap_single()
API design just one argument, so easy to use DEFINE_FREE.

Leave DEFINE_FREE() here also okay.
