I can improve commt msg. It was similar PCI case (There are two work mode:
root complex and endpoint). So there are two kind compatible string for it.

If you think it is good for using two compatible string for two work mode
of the same hardware.

I can write git commit message like:

dt-bindings: i3c: svc: add compatible string nxp,imx93-svc-i3c-target

silvaco i3c controller is dual mode controller, which can work as master
and target mode. All clock, reg, irq are the same for both mode. Add
compatible string "nxp,imx93-svc-i3c-target" to let silivaco i3c
controller work as target mode.

Of course, alternate method to added a property "mode" to distingiush
master and target mode. but old "silvaco,i3c-master-v1" will actually work
as dual mode support. Driver structure will become complex.
