In my first review, I suggested restoring SMBHSTCNT_INTREN to its
original value at driver unload time. I stand on this position. If
SMBHSTCNT_INTREN was originally 0, it will be 1 after the first
transaction run by the driver. That's fine as long as
SMBSLVCMD_SMBALERT_DISABLE is set, however i801_disable_host_notify()
will clear that bit when you unload the driver. At that point, SMBus
Alerts will keep generating interrupts. I'm not sure what happens if
nobody is listening to that interrupt. But in case of a shared
interrupt, the other driver is going to be flooded with interrupts
forever if SMBus Alerts are being generated for whatever reason.

Ah, yeah and it's really happening. I wanted to debug it by installing a shared dummy handler in another driver :-)

So I suggest something like:

In addition to your changes. What do you think?

I think this is worth of a separate patch before mine since it does one driver improvement and helps to stop interrupt flood coming from the SMBus controller by unloading the driver.

You may add my Tested-by if you plan to send a patch or I can add commit log from you and send both patches together.
