The entire error handling there looks suspicious.

The 'struct i2c_smbus_alert_setup' description says:

 "If irq is not specified, the smbus_alert driver doesn't take care of
  interrupt handling. In that case it is up to the I2C bus driver to
  either handle the interrupts or to poll for alerts."

So, the question is, shouldn't we just drop the check completely?
