 This is implemented in the following way in the Linux kernel:
-* I2C bus drivers which support SMBus Host Notify should call
-  i2c_setup_smbus_host_notify() to setup SMBus Host Notify support.
-* I2C drivers for devices which can trigger SMBus Host Notify should implement
-  the optional alert() callback.
+* I2C bus drivers which support SMBus Host Notify should report
+  I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_HOST_NOTIFY.
+* I2C drivers for devices which can trigger SMBus Host Notify should request
+  a Host Notify IRQ through i2c_smbus_host_notify_to_irq().
+
+There is currently no way to retrieve the data parameter from the client.
