Okay, now I got it to work, I also noted a few more issues.

First, I'd suggest s/i2c_smbus_host_notify/i2c_slave_host_notify/g for
all occurences in this patch. This makes a stronger distinction between
the generic HostNotify support and the slave specific one.

Also, I wonder if this shouldn't go to i2c-smbus.c instead but I haven't
checked if we end up in dependency hell then. Second best thought: at
least move to i2c-core-slave.c, then we could save the #ifdeffery in the
c-file?

So, we are safe if the message is too short. Otherwise, we capture the
first byte (== address) only, right. Further bytes until STOP are
discarded. So, we don't check if the message is too long and contains
more than the status word. Maybe we should add that?

The missing cases are mandatory. From my testunit driver:

        case I2C_SLAVE_READ_REQUESTED:
        case I2C_SLAVE_READ_PROCESSED:
                *val = 0xff;
                break;

Those need to be guarded with I2C_SLAVE as well. And an #else branch
with empty/successful placeholders.
