i3c: master: Reject IBI requests from non-IBI-capable devices
This commit adds a check in i3c_device_request_ibi() to ensure a device
reports IBI support before attempting to set up IBI handling. If the device
does not advertise I3C_BCR_IBI_REQ_CAP, it now fails with -EOPNOTSUPP.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does i3c_dev_request_ibi_locked() leak the
allocated workqueue if the master's request_ibi callback fails?
Looking at i3c_dev_request_ibi_locked() in drivers/i3c/master.c:
ibi->wq = alloc_ordered_workqueue(dev_name(i3cdev_to_dev(dev->dev)),
WQ_MEM_RECLAIM);
if (!ibi->wq) {
kfree(ibi);
return -ENOMEM;
}
...
ret = master->ops->request_ibi(dev, req);
if (ret) {
kfree(ibi);
dev->ibi = NULL;
}
If master->ops->request_ibi() returns an error, the error path frees ibi
but doesn't call destroy_workqueue(ibi->wq).
If a device probe repeatedly fails at this step, could this result in a
workqueue and memory leak?
