Has it been considered to use a bus_notifier and check for
BUS_NOTIFY_BOUND_DRIVER?

I'd really like to keep it inside i801 if possible. First, all these
flags in mux drivers only for this corner case are relatively intrusive.
Second, selecting SMBUS for I2C_MUX is also a tad too much for my taste.

I understand that removing CLASS_SPD is a worthy goal. So, if all fails
we could still try this. But I'd think with bus_notifiers it should be
possible to keep it all in i801.

Do you think this could work?

Happy hacking,
