Let's limit the number of indentations by doing

if (master->this == master->bus.cur_master)
return 0;

Is that really enough? I remember we had something a bit more complex
to handle the case where bus is acquired to send a message to a device,
and another master on the bus re-acquires it before we have a chance to
send this message message. i3c_master_acquire_bus_ownership() was
dealing with that in Przemek series. It seems you've rewritten a lot of
these things. Would you mind explaining why, and how that works?
