Sure. I'll put the doc and code in 2 different commits.

Right, I'll also switch to menuconfig instead of menu+config.

I could create 2 functions, one for the exclusive lock and the other
one for the shared lock.

I did not measure the difference, but using a standard lock means
serializing all I3C accesses going through a given master in the core.
Note that this lock is not here to guarantee that calls to
master->ops->xxx() are serialized (this part is left to the master
driver), but to ensure that when a bus management operation is in
progress (like changing the address of a device on the bus), no one can
send I3C frames. If we don't do that, one could queue an I3C transfer,
and by the time this transfer reach the bus, the I3C device this
message was targeting may have a different address.
Unless you see a good reason to not use a R/W lock, I'd like to keep it
this way because master IPs are likely to implement advanced queuing
mechanism (allows one to queue new transfers even if the master is
already busy processing other requests), and serializing things at the
framework level will just prevent us from using this kind of
optimization.

Yep, I mentioned the lack of sysfs doc in my cover letter. Will address
that in v2.

Okay. Would that be okay with a different separator (like a comma)?

> ATTRIBUTE_GROUPS()?
My initial plan was to have a common set of attributes that apply to
both devices and masters, and then add specific attributes in each of
them when they only apply to a specific device type.
Something like:
static const struct attribute_group i3c_common_group = {
.attrs = i3c_common_attrs,
};
static const struct attribute_group i3c_device_group = {
.attrs = i3c_device_attrs,
};
static const struct attribute_group *i3c_device_groups[] = {
&i3c_common_group,
&i3c_device_group,
NULL,
};
static const struct attribute_group i3c_master_group = {
.attrs = i3c_master_attrs,
};
static const struct attribute_group *i3c_master_groups[] = {
&i3c_common_group,
&i3c_master_group,
NULL,
};
It turned out I didn't have device or master specific attributes in this
version, so this differentiation is useless right now. I'll drop that
in my v2.
Just out of curiosity, what's the preferred solution when you need to
do something like that? Should we just use ATTRIBUTE_GROUPS() and
duplicate the entries that apply to both device types?

You got me, never tried to remove a device :-). Note that these
->release() hooks will just be dummy ones, because right now, device
resources are freed at bus destruction time.
Also, I see that dev->release() is called instead of
dev->type->release() if it's not NULL [1]. what's the preferred solution
here? Set dev->release or type->release()?
Thanks for your review,
