[PATCH v2 0/3] i3c: Improve CCC reliability for DesignWare master

Improve I3C CCC handling on the DesignWare master used on SoCFPGA
platforms: report the actual GET payload length, map hardware errors
to I3C M0/M2, and validate GET responses with a single retry for
transient failures.

Patch 1/3 fixes a DW driver bug: on successful GET CCC, set
dests[0].payload.len from RESPONSE_PORT_DATA_LEN.

Patch 2/3 maps DesignWare response-queue errors to ccc->err (M2 for
IBA/address NACK; M0 for CRC/parity/frame/transfer-abort).

Patch 3/3 moves protocol handling into the I3C core: validate GET
payload length (GETMRL: 2 or 3 bytes; GETMXDS: 2 or 5 bytes), retry
GET CCCs once on M0/M2, restore requested payload.len on retry/error,
and use a stack buffer for the common single-destination GET case.

Changes in v2:
- Split the monolithic patch into three patches (per review feedback).
- Move GET payload validation and CCC retry from the DW driver to
drivers/i3c/master.c.
- Validate GET CCCs only; drop SET payload-length checks (DW
RESPONSE_PORT_DATA_LEN is 0 on SET).
- Retry GET CCCs only; do not repeat side-effecting SET CCCs.
- Tighten GETMRL validation to exactly 2 or 3 bytes; add GETMXDS
2/5-byte handling.
- Expand M0 mapping to CRC/parity/transfer-abort, not only frame
errors.
- Restore dests[].payload.len before retry and on error return.
- Avoid kmalloc on the common single-destination GET path.
