But so far, no action to handle this case in current code.

In svc_i3c_master_xfer() have not check this flags. also have not enable
ERRWARN irq.

If we met this case, we can add new functions/argument to handle this.
Then we can real debug the code and recover bus.

Without this patch, simplest add some debug message before issue
SVC_I3C_MCTRL_REQUEST_AUTO_IBI, TIMEOUT will be set.

And svc_i3c_master_error() was only called by svc_i3c_master_ibi_work().
So I can think only case 3 happen in svc_i3c_master_ibi_work().
