sorry, typo, s/6/4
For example if the maxdev == 4, when there's no i3c device connected, the
max cmd->rx_len = 0 after timeout, then newdevs = 0xf, then go through
the i3c_master_add_i3c_dev_locked(), each take ~1s, so adds up to 4s

It's the addr assign cmd timeout, so if 3 devices respond, the addr
assign cmd won't timeout.
