i3c: master: Reject IBI requests from non-IBI-capable devices
This commit updates i3c_device_request_ibi() to verify that a device
advertises IBI support before attempting to set up IBI handling. If the
device lacks the I3C_BCR_IBI_REQ_CAP capability, it now returns early
with -EOPNOTSUPP.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but since this patch interacts closely with IBI
request error handling, I noticed a potential resource leak in the underlying
i3c_dev_request_ibi_locked() function.
Does this code leak the newly allocated workqueue if the request fails?
drivers/i3c/master.c:i3c_dev_request_ibi_locked() {
...
ibi->wq = alloc_ordered_workqueue(dev_name(i3cdev_to_dev(dev->dev)), WQ_MEM_RECLAIM);
...
ret = master->ops->request_ibi(dev, req);
if (ret) {
kfree(ibi);
dev->ibi = NULL;
}
return ret;
}
Should destroy_workqueue(ibi->wq) be called before kfree(ibi) on this error
path to prevent leaking the workqueue if a driver repeatedly fails to request
an IBI?
