I do not quite like putting these retries in RMI code. I wonder if we
should not move the delay into psmouse_smbus_reconnect():

	if (smbdev->need_deactivate) {
		psmouse_deactivate(psmouse);
		/* Give the device time to switch to SMBus mode */
		msleep(30);
	}

or even factor it out into psmouse_activate_smbus_mode() and call it
from psmouse_smbus_reconnect() as well as psmouse_smbus_init().

Thanks.
