I agree about better not exposing the bus as a /dev/i3c* node, and that we

writing complete user space drivers that can do everything a kernel driver
can do.

Can you describe what a low-level interface to the device looks like
in the kernel? Can this be abstracted as simply pread()/pwrite() plus
an interrupt mechanism, or do we need a set of ioctl() operations as
well?

Like in i2c is likely to need the ioctl() too.
