Well, of_i2c_setup_smbus_alert() returns an error code, so it has to be
accounted for. If the error is not a reason to fail, you should at least
shout some error messages and act accordingly.

However, looking at of_i2c_setup_smbus_alert() again, I wonder if we
should not split it in 2: one part that checks for the OF flag presence
and bail out early if an error is encountered (before device
registration), and one part once the device is registered that calls
i2c_setup_smbus_alert(). In case of a failure here, we need to
unregister the adapter because we don't have all the elements at hands
(assuming we consider that smbus-alert should be mandatory).

Cheers,
Benjamin
