+1 for the pinctrl changes for the I3C1 and I3C2 controllers (I'll
review and ack separately). I have been testing on I3C3 and up, but just
not with the HVI3C on 1 & 2, hence no pinctrl definition there.

However, I don't think the other two are needed.

For 2/3 and 3/3, you're adding a reset control for the global register
block within the per-controller driver, but we can already do that on a
global basis with the existing syscon device. Hence this earlier change:

  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/mfd/syscon.c?id=7d1e3bd94828ad9fc86f55253cd6fec8edd65394

For this, I have:

    &i3c {
        i3c_global: i3c-global {
            compatible = "aspeed,ast2600-i3c-global", "simple-mfd", "syscon";
            resets = <&syscon ASPEED_RESET_I3C_DMA>;
            reg = <0x0 0x1000>;
        };

        i3c2: i3c-master@4000 {
            compatible = "aspeed,ast2600-i3c";
            reg = <0x4000 0x1000>;
            clocks = <&syscon ASPEED_CLK_GATE_I3C2CLK>;
            pinctrl-names = "default";
            pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_i3c3_default>;
            interrupts = <GIC_SPI 104 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
            aspeed,global-regs = <&i3c_global 2>;
            status = "disabled";
        };

        /* ... */
    };

- with no changes needed to any bindings. I haven't needed any other
resets; are there per-controller resets specified in the HW docs you
have?

Does that work for you? If you'd like to test, feel free to use my
sample dts at:
