i3c: dw: Do not use OF match data as a quirk bitmask

This commit updates dw_i3c_common_probe() to explicitly check for a match
in the driver's ACPI table instead of merely testing for an ACPI companion.
This prevents OF match data from being incorrectly cast to a quirk bitmask.

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but while reviewing
dw_i3c_common_probe(), I noticed an existing issue with how the IRQ is
fetched later in the same function:

	irq = platform_get_irq(pdev, 0);
	ret = devm_request_irq(&pdev->dev, irq,
			       dw_i3c_master_irq_handler, 0,
			       dev_name(&pdev->dev), master);

Does this code fail to handle deferred probing properly?

If platform_get_irq() returns a negative error like -EPROBE_DEFER, it is
passed directly as the irq parameter to devm_request_irq(). Because the irq
parameter is an unsigned integer, the negative value is cast to a large
number. This causes request_threaded_irq() to reject it as out of bounds
and return -EINVAL.

Could this permanently break initialization on systems that require probe
deferral by masking the original deferral error code?
