There's include/device/smbus.h with
  int smbus_read_byte(struct device *dev, u8 addr);
and also include/lib.h with
  int smbus_read_byte(unsigned device, unsigned address);
at the moment.

The latter should be dropped IMO, include/device/smbus.h sounds like
the correct place to have the prototype.

I think that's ok, IIRC we did this in order to not have yet another
almost-empty header file (ram.h). We should try to keep the number of files
(especially useless *.h files) down as much as possible/reasonable.
