how this case can happen since default target's IBI is disabled. Need host
send IBI enable command to target devices before target pull SDA lower.

Need comments here why Request_AutoIBI not work. I think it is IP design
defect to make REQUEST_AUTO_IBI useless.

Only concern here is that svc_i3c_master_ack_ibi() need send in 100us by
i3c spec requirement.
