[PATCH] i3c: master: svc: fix signed/unsigned mismatch in dynamic address assignment

svc_i3c_master_do_daa_locked() declares dyn_addr as an unsigned int
however it initialises it with i3c_master_get_free_addr() which
returns a signed int type and then attempts to check if dyn_addr is
less than 0. Unsigned integers cannot be less than 0, so the check
is essentially redundant. Furthermore i3c_master_get_free_addr()
could return -ENOMEM which an unsigned int cannot store.
 
Fix this by capturing the return value of i3c_master_get_free_addr()
in a signed int ‘dyn_addr_ret’. If that value is negative, return
an error. Otherwise, assign it to the unsigned int ‘dyn_addr’ once
we know it’s valid.
