Ok, IIUC, it is just that we need separate clean up function.
i3c_master_bus_cleanup is used here to call driver cleanup function and
detach + release devices from bus, and I am not sure i3c_masterdev_release
can be used for that.
Better alternative is i3c_master_unregister(). However, it doesn't handle
the case where device_add fails, as this function unconditionally calls
device_unregister which call both device_del and put_device.
