[PATCH v5 4/5] i3c: master: Validate GET CCC payload length and retry Direct GET once

From: Adrian Ng Ho Yin <adrian.ho.yin.ng at altera.com>

Add retries to struct i3c_ccc_cmd. Validate GET payload length in
i3c_master_send_ccc_cmd_locked() after a successful transfer.

Retry failed Direct GET CCCs up to cmd->retries times when the driver
reports failure or an I3C error; validation failures are not retried.
SET CCCs are not retried by default.

Changes in v5:
- Split from v4 patch 3/3: retry and strict validation only; optional_bytes
  moved to patch 5/5.
- Validate GET payload length after a successful transfer.
- Retry failed Direct GET CCCs when the driver reports failure or an I3C
  error; validation failures are not retried.

Changes in v4:
- Add optional_bytes to struct i3c_ccc_cmd_payload and retries to
  struct i3c_ccc_cmd (default I3C_CCC_RETRIES for GET, 0 for SET).
- Replace CCC-ID-specific payload checks with generic validation using
  actual_len, len, and optional_bytes.
- GETMRL and GETMXDS set optional_bytes at the call site instead of
  hardcoding lengths in the core.
- Retry failed Direct GET CCCs on any error up to cmd->retries times,
  per I3C spec Direct GET single-retry model (§5.1.9.2.3); drop M0/M2-
  gated retry logic.
- Drop req_lens save/restore and the stack/kmalloc bookkeeping for
  payload.len.
- Update I3C master drivers (SVC, Cadence, ADI, Renesas, MIPI HCI) to
  populate actual_len on successful GET transfers.
- Use actual_len in getmrl_locked(), getmwl_locked(), getmxds_locked(),
  and gethdrcap_locked().
