This is not an issue, I can create a patch just for boardinfo init fix.

Even ignoring patch 1, it is necessary to check if the slot is free 
because if SETDASA fails the boardinfo->init_dyn_addr can be assigned to 
another device. That's why we need to check if expected_dyn_addr is free.

If I'm doing wrong I really appreciate you tell me the reason.

This is a different corner case and I though we agreed that the framework 
doesn't provide guarantees to assign boardinfo->init_dyn_addr [1].

Yet, I don't disagree with the idea of pre-reserve the 
boardinfo->init_dyn_addr.
I can do this but we need to align how it should be done.

I have this use case where the HC has only 4 slot for 4 devices. 
Sometimes the one or more devices can be sleeping and when they trigger 
HJ there is no space in HC.
