That is correct, there is no equivalent for libi2c-devel ( which, in the
RedHat land would be named i2c-<something>-devel ) . smbus.h is provided
by the kernel-devel package and i2c-dev.h by the kernel-headers package.
However the build fails even when including both packages in the
buildroot; at the first glance, it seems that i2c_smbus_access does not
exist in the version of headers provided by the distro:
[wolfy at wolfy nut-fightwarn-libusb-1.0-0.1]$ grep i2c_smbus_access
/usr/src/kernels/3.10.0-1160.49.1.el7.x86_64/include/linux/* -r
[wolfy at wolfy nut-fightwarn-libusb-1.0-0.1]$
The output of configure is:
checking linux/i2c-dev.h usability... yes
checking linux/i2c-dev.h presence... yes
checking for linux/i2c-dev.h... yes
checking i2c/smbus.h usability... no
checking i2c/smbus.h presence... no
checking for i2c/smbus.h... no
checking whether i2c_smbus_access is declared... no
configure: error: i2c was required but can not be fulfilled for this
build
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.TjebuB (%build)

The i2c files that exist:

There are 30 header files below
/usr/src/kernels/3.10.0-1160.49.1.el7.x86_64/include/linux/i2c but I
doubt that listing them here is useful so I skipped that.
