    kernel: i2c: Try giving a better definition of SMBus
    
    SMBus does not simply target byte reads/writes. It's actually a full
    specification targetting devices power management on an "I2C bus". It is
    true that for us, it offers a register-like interface but it is only a
    biased view from our side, it's not the original purpose.

   \begin{itemize}
   \item SMBus is a subset of the I2C protocol.
-  \item It defines a standard set of transactions, for example to read
-    or write a register into a device.
+  \item It focuses on devices power management and defines a standard
+    set of transactions, such as reading/writing from a register-like
+    interface.
   \item Linux provides SMBus functions that {\em should be used}
     instead of the raw API, if the I2C device supports this
     standard type of transactions. The driver can then be used on both
