How about:

Follow the steps below to obtain the I3C dynamic address:

1. Retrieve the assigned-address from the device tree (DT).
2. Look for an available slot address.
3. Look for an address that is pre-reserved by another device with
assigned-address in DT, but where the device is currently offline.
