Having a separate Kconfig option for i2c-smbus makes it possible to
build that support as a module even when i2c-core itself is built-in.
Bus drivers which implement SMBus alert should select this option, so
in most cases this option is hidden and the user doesn't have to care
about it.

In doubt, say Y.

+ Say Y here if you want support for SMBus extensions to the I2C
+ specification. At the moment, the only supported extension is
+ the SMBus alert protocol.
+
+ This support is also available as a module. If so, the module
+ will be called i2c-smbus.
