One more note on this...

What if bit 1 of host configuration register (SMB_SMI_EN) is set? My
understanding is that our ISR will never be called in that case, so we
should stick to polled mode? We do check it already but it's only
informative at the moment:

	if (temp & SMBHSTCFG_SMB_SMI_EN)
		dev_dbg(&dev->dev, "SMBus using interrupt SMI#\n");
	else
		dev_dbg(&dev->dev, "SMBus using PCI Interrupt\n");
