As part of I3C driver probing sequence for particular device instance, While adding to queue it is trying to access ibi variable of dev which is not yet initialized causing "Unable to handle kernel read from unreadable memory" resulting in kernel panic.
Below is the sequence where this issue happened. 1. During boot up sequence IBI is received at host from the slave device before requesting for IBI, Usually will request IBI by calling i3c_device_request_ibi() during probe of slave driver. 2. Since master code trying to access IBI Variable for the particular device instance before actually it initialized by slave driver, due to this randomly accessing the address and causing kernel panic. 3. i3c_device_request_ibi() function invoked by the slave driver where dev->ibi = ibi; assigned as part of function call i3c_dev_request_ibi_locked(). 4. But when IBI request sent by slave device, master code trying to access this variable before its initialized due to this race condition situation kernel panic happened.
