[PATCH] i3c: master: Set the device name only after we initialize i3c_bus->id

From: Fredrik Markstrom via B4 Relay

Date: Tue Jan 13 2026 - 08:09:10 EST


From: Fredrik Markstrom <fredrik.markstrom@xxxxxxxx>

The i3c_bus->id field is used to construct the unique name of the I3C
bus device. This field is initialized and assigned its unique value
within the i3c_bus_init() function.

However, the existing code was referencing i3c_bus->id *before* the
call to i3c_bus_init(), leading to all the masters having the same
device name string.

This commit moves the reference to i3c_bus->id to *after* the call to
i3c_bus_init().
