[PATCH v5 5/5] i3c: master: Add optional_bytes for variable-length GET CCC validation

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

Add optional_bytes to struct i3c_ccc_cmd_payload so callers describe
variable-length GET CCC responses. GETMRL and GETMXDS set optional_bytes
at the call site. Extend i3c_ccc_validate_payload_len() to honour it.

Changes in v5:
- Split from v4 patch 3/3: optional_bytes and variable-length GET rules only.
- Simplify validation: drop redundant exact-length check when
  optional_bytes == 0 (per review).
- Clarify GETMXDS fallback: with optional_bytes = 3, a 2-byte success on
  the first attempt no longer needs the fallback; it remains for when the
  5-byte request fails rather than short-reading.
