You missed commit 6cbf8b38dfe3 ("i3c: fix uninitialized variable use in
i2c setup") as a fix for this one, as rightfully pointed out by clang:

  https://lore.kernel.org/177198114226.2577.15577566399399369654@d14e337afe00/

  $ make -skj"$(nproc)" ARCH=x86_64 LLVM=1 mrproper allmodconfig drivers/i3c/master.o
  drivers/i3c/master.c:2203:3: error: variable 'i2cdev' is uninitialized when used here [-Werror,-Wuninitialized]
   2203 |                 i2cdev->dev = i2c_new_client_device(adap, &i2cboardinfo->base);
        |                 ^~~~~~

I guess that report was missed because it was not actually addressed to
anyone?

FWIW, this patch appeared in a previous 5.15-rc release but Ben
rightfully pointed out it really was not necessary and Greg said he
would fix it up by hand:

  https://lore.kernel.org/2026011724-florist-brook-5f1f@gregkh/

Guess that never happened?

Cheers,
