Hi Andy,

Dunno if I can help here. When it comes to driver development, a dev
interface is surely useful but can stay in some debug corner. However,
cover letter says:

I don't know anything about these recovery mechanisms and their needs. I
might have time to look into I3C things after all the conferences in
Prague, but no promises...

Happy hacking,
