Still a few formatting problems, but I like this version. Id take
care of the formatting myself, but send_command() will need a change.

Subject should be
[PATCH v<version>] hwmon: (applesmc) ...

> v2 : Address logic and coding style

Change log should be after '---'

Hah, tricked you here ;-). Using "BIT()" requires

Bad indentation of "}"

probably get static analyzer warnings about a variable which is assigned
but unused. If the read is necessary, just don't assign it to a variable.
