Hm, my bad. Looks like i3cdev is a separate module/driver. If that's
the case, it should not have direct access to internals.h. I see 2
options here:

1/ make the i3cdev logic part of the core
2/ provide helpers to find devices by type

But maybe none of that is needed if you let userspace bind i3c devices
to the i3cdev driver.
