I got another idea. What about a boolean binding "smbus"?
This describes the bus as SMBus (and not I2C bus), so the additional
SMBus restrictions/requirements apply. HostNotify is required for SMBus,
so address 0x08 can't be used. Alert is optional, but still it uses a
reserved address. SMBus timeouts maybe can be handled through this as
well (there is the HWMON specific "smbus-timeout-disable" so far).
So, we have one simple binding for HostNotify and Alert which really
describes the HW.
