0x31 is 49 - is that really what you intend here? For instance,
building this patch for ARM32 produces:

   In file included from ../include/linux/bits.h:5,
                    from ../include/linux/ratelimit_types.h:5,
                    from ../include/linux/printk.h:9,
                    from ../include/asm-generic/bug.h:31,
                    from ../arch/arm/include/asm/bug.h:60,
                    from ../include/linux/bug.h:5,
                    from ../drivers/i3c/device.c:9:
   ../drivers/i3c/device.c: In function ‘i3c_device_get_supported_xfer_mode’:

Should this be decimal 31, rather than hex 31?
