What I am suggesting is more like this:

1st loop:

 	smbus_do_alert()
	//impossible to have same address on first run, so go to 2nd loop

2nd loop:

 	smbus_do_alert()
 	if (failed at same address)
 		smbus_do_alert_force()
		break;

As I understand it, your sequence is missing "my" 1st loop with the
invalid address, so you will end up having 3 loops altogether?

The code I am suggesting is bascially yours without the retries
variable:

	status = device_for_each_child(&ara->adapter->dev, &data,
				       smbus_do_alert);
	if (data.addr == prev_addr && status != -EBUSY) {
		device_for_each_child(&ara->adapter->dev, &data,
				      smbus_do_alert_force);
		break;
	}
	prev_addr = data.addr;

Makes sense or am I missing something?
