Yes, it should be "controller" here. Preempting the following patches
where I used host: I sometimes used it because "host" is shorter than
"controller", so e.g. variable names would not grow too much in size.
I missed that SMBus has a dedicated meaning for "host", clearly
described in chapter 6.1.3 form version 3.0 onwards. So, I should switch
to controller consistently.

I am also working on a small series updating the I2C documentation so
we have a defined terminology. This should also go in before this series
and is hopefully ready tomorrow.
