Yes, re-attaching works and I also need to update the subsystem data structures.
Something like the following works for me:

To me, this looks OK but I don't think it is yet completed. If I'm not wrong,
even with this adjustment the problem may still persist when running DAA on a
full ocupied bus at runtime (e.g. after devices are removed/inserted). This
driver don't support hotplug but I noticed the ones that supports it do DAA on
hotplug events.
Could you please let me know what's the procedure to go forward with this
series? The approach proposed in the above diff depends on the series exporting
i3c_master_reattach_i3c_dev_locked(), which is in progress.
If all good with the rest of the patches in this series, as I don't have a real
setup to test this, would it be OK to switch this patch as it was in v1 and
return with the adjustments in the above diff once the
i3c_master_reattach_i3c_dev_locked() is integrated?
