If a SMBus alert is received and the originating device is not found,
the reason may be that the address reported on the SMBus alert address
is corrupted, for example because multiple devices asserted alert and
do not correctly implement SMBus arbitration.
If this happens, call alert handlers on all devices connected to the
given I2C bus, in the hope that this cleans up the situation.
This change reliably fixed the problem on a system with multiple devices
on a single bus. Example log where the device on address 0x18 (ADM1021)
and on address 0x4c (ADT7461A) both had the alert line asserted:
smbus_alert 3-000c: SMBALERT# from dev 0x0c, flag 0
smbus_alert 3-000c: no driver alert()!
smbus_alert 3-000c: SMBALERT# from dev 0x0c, flag 0
smbus_alert 3-000c: no driver alert()!
lm90 3-0018: temp1 out of range, please check!

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
