These should be u8 as per the other changes throughout the tty layer.

Can this be ever negative?

Is this related:
     Still below items not be fixed (according to Jiri Slaby's comments)
     - rxwork thread: need trigger from two position.
     - common thread queue: need some suggestion
?

As I don't remember, could you elaborate again why you need your own 
workqueue? You need to do it in the commit log anyway.

Unneeded initialization.

Likely, should be unsigned.

Detto.

Can this simply be:
xfers.len = kfifo_out_peek(&sport->port.xmit_fifo, sport->tx_buff, 
I3C_TTY_TRANS_SIZE);
?

Just to make sure: xfers.len is nor overwritten by 
i3c_device_do_priv_xfers(), right?

Why do you take the lock here, but not during the kfifo operations above?

Can it happen that you already queue something on this wq, while not 
allocated yet? I mean: should this be done first in i3c_tty_init()?

What about the wq?
