[PATCH v1 1/1] i3c: master: svc: Fix i3c_master_get_free_addr return check

From: Stanley Chu <yschu at nuvoton.com>

The return value of i3c_master_get_free_addr is assigned to a variable
with wrong type, so it can't be negative. Use a signed integer for the
return value. If the value is negative, break the process and propagate
the error code.

This commit also fixes the uninitialized symbol 'dyn_addr', reported
by Smatch static checker.
