[PATCH v5 6/6] i2c: use an IRQ to report Host Notify events, not alert

2016-10-13 Thread Benjamin Tissoires
The current SMBus Host Notify implementation relies on .alert() to relay its notifications. However, the use cases where SMBus Host Notify is needed currently is to signal data ready on touchpads. This is closer to an IRQ than a custom API through .alert(). Given that the 2 touchpad manufacturers
