Legacy Virtual Register. It's the name used in the I3C specification
and a short description is given in the I3C doc (patch 2 of this RFC):
"
Backward compatibility with I2C devices
=======================================
The I3C protocol has been designed to be backward compatible with I2C
devices. This backward compatibility allows one to connect a mix of I2C
and I3C device on the same bus, though, in order to be really
efficient, I2C devices should be equipped with 50 ns spike filters.
I2C devices can't be discovered like I3C ones and have to be statically
declared. In order to let the master know what these devices are
capable of (both in terms of bus related limitations and
functionalities), the software has to provide some information, which
is done through the LVR (Legacy I2C Virtual Register).

Yes, I also find this name inappropriate, but that's directly
extracted from the specification.

These are not described as independent flags in the spec. It's an enum
with only 3 values on 7 currently defined. I guess MIPI reserves other
values for future use (v2 of the spec?).

Unfortunately, v1 of the spec does not define any of these device
types. Probably something that will be extended in future versions.

I'm perfectly fine with that. I'll try to come up with a proposal in
v2 of this patchset.

Well, I3C slave IPs are around the corner (actually I used one to test
this framework), and I thought clarifying things from the beginning
would be beneficial. But if you think i3c implicitly means i3c-master,
I can change that.
