[PATCH v5 1/1] applesmc: Re-work SMC comms

From: Brad Campbell
Date: Wed Nov 11 2020 - 08:08:55 EST


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. Logic changes based on inspection of the Apple SMC kext.

Tested on : MacbookAir6,2 MacBookPro11,1 iMac12,2, MacBookAir1,1,
MacBookAir3,1

Changelog :
v1 : Initial attempt
v2 : Address logic and coding style
v3 : Removed some debug hangover. Added tested-by. Modifications for MacBookAir1,1
v4 : Re-factored logic based on Apple driver. Simplified wait_status loop
v5 : Re-wrote status loop. Simplified busy check in send_byte(). Fixed formatting
