pmbus_write_smbalert_mask() ignores the errors if the chip can't set smbalert mask the standard way. It is not necessarily a problem for the irq support if the chip is otherwise properly setup but it may leave an uncleared fault behind. pmbus_core will pick the fault on the next register_check(). The register check will fails regardless of the actual register support by the chip. This leads to missing attributes or debugfs entries for chips that should provide them. We cannot rely on register_check() as PMBUS_SMBALERT_MASK may be read-only. Unconditionally clear the page fault after setting PMBUS_SMBALERT_MASK to avoid the problem.
