That is definitively a solution. I however had once a problem with
suspend/resume where i2c_i801 was not able to reset the Host Notify
feature, but that was maybe a side effect of unloading/reloading the
module tons of times during the session.
I will work on that and submit a v2 this week.
I still wonder if you think we should expose a KConfig parameter for
this or not. I would prefer not to (because it is handled in hardware
and people might screw up their input drivers), but I'd prefer have your
opinion on this first.

I asked myself this question, and I figured it was not possible because
i2c-smbus consists in the smbus_alert i2c driver.
After re-reading the code, I see now that it could definitively goes
there too. However, if we choose not to expose the toggle to the
drivers, then there will be no need to make deep changes in i2c-smbus
:).

OK. But again, if we enable it anyway, this will be just removed.

Thanks for the review!
