Ok with that.

I have actually difficulties to understand clearly what should go within
i2c-smbus.c vs i2c-core-smbus or i2c-core-slave. My feeling is that
i2c-core-slave is more about the registering of a slave rather than one usage
of the slave mechanism. Hence I am not sure those functions/cb belong there.
But at the same time, I don't know about i2c-smbus vs i2c-core-smbus. I putted
it within i2c-core-smbus considering that the creation of the alert device
is also done there.

Yes I modified that.

Ok, done as well.

Ok understood.
