Can we add this lines as a comment to the define you are adding?

Please, use usleep_range for 1 millisecond timeout.

You could use here readx_poll_timeout() here.

if it's an error, please use an error.

Please, fixe the alignment here.

what happens if the timeout expires?

Can we use

ret = ...
if (ret)
return ret;

This way we return whatever comes from pasemi_smb_clear().

This way we can remove this line, as well.
