SubjectRe: [PATCH 3/4] dt-bindings: i2c-stm32: add SMBus Alert bindings
Gentle Reminder, as I wrote in my previous responce, smbus_alert interrupt
refers to an host and not a client. And since we do not have a dedicated
irq for smbus_alert, I propose to add this st, binding to enable the
smbus_alert mechanism.
