Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i3c: Use i3cdev->desc->info instead of calling i3c_device_get_info() to avoid deadlock
A deadlock may happen since the i3c_master_register() acquires
&i3cbus->lock twice. See the log below.
Use i3cdev->desc->info instead of calling i3c_device_info() to
avoid acquiring the lock twice.

- Modified the title and commit message
============================================
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
6.11.0-mainline
--------------------------------------------
init/1 is trying to acquire lock:

but task is already holding lock:
f1ffff80a6a40dc0 (&i3cbus->lock){++++}-{3:3}, at: i3c_master_register
other info that might help us debug this:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:

*** DEADLOCK ***
May be due to missing lock nesting notation
