I agree that i2c_client_create* is a nice naming, but it came in a bit
too late. Renaming the API is a tiresome job, and it shouldn't be done
(again) just for the sake of renaming IMO.

That all being said, I think i2c_new_smbus_alert_device is a better
naming than what is in this patchset and it is my favourite until now.
