Hi Frank,
Please check the example, a transaction contains 2 transfers.
xfer[0].addr=7E/W, no data
xfer[1].addr=dyn_addr/W, with data
send xfer[0]:
1. Emit Start+7E/W
2. Wait for MCTRLDONE
send xfer[1]:
3. Prefill xfer[1].data // data is emitted immediately
4. Emit RepeatedStart+dyn_addr/W
5. Wait for MCTRLDONE
6. Write remaining data to FIFO if needed
7. Emit STOP
Part of xfer[1].data is emitted in xfer[0], which is the problem of prefill
before EmitStartAddr. This is the reason I moved step 3 after step 4.

Since prefill before EmitStartAddr has the problem I mentioned above, the FIFO
should start filling as soon as possible to work around the hardware issue.
This is why I prefer writing MWDATAB here instead of using svc_i3c_master_write,
as it can save some polling time.
The hardware-specific quirk is added to avoid affecting other platforms that
do not have this issue.
