That sounds like it duplicates dw_i3c_master_set_dev_nack_retry().

Need to consider what would be better handled by I3C core.
Anything related to the protocol, that every controller driver
needs, should be handled there.

Is that a bug fix?  Maybe it needs a separate patch?

Again, please consider what would be better handled in
drivers/i3c/master.c
