G'day Henrik,

I noticed you'd also loosened up the requirement for SMC_STATUS_BUSY in read_smc(). I assume
that causes problems on the early Macbook. This is revised on the one sent earlier.
If you could test this on your Air1,1 it'd be appreciated.

No, I managed to screw up the patch; you can see that I carefully added the same treatment for the read argument, being unsure if the BUSY state would remain during the AVAILABLE data phase. I can check that again, but unfortunately the patch in this email shows the same problem.

I think it may be worthwhile to rethink the behavior of wait_status() here. If one machine shows no change after a certain status bit change, then perhaps the others share that behavior, and we are waiting in vain. Just imagine how many years of cpu that is, combined. ;-)

Commit fff2d0f701e6 ("hwmon: (applesmc) avoid overlong udelay()") introduced
an issue whereby communication with the SMC became unreliable with write
errors like :

[ 120.378614] applesmc: send_byte(0x00, 0x0300) fail: 0x40
[ 120.378621] applesmc: LKSB: write data fail
[ 120.512782] applesmc: send_byte(0x00, 0x0300) fail: 0x40
[ 120.512787] applesmc: LKSB: write data fail

The original code appeared to be timing sensitive and was not reliable with
the timing changes in the aforementioned commit.

This patch re-factors the SMC communication to remove the timing
dependencies and restore function with the changes previously committed.

Tested on : MacbookAir6,2 MacBookPro11,1 iMac12,2
