Brad Campbell 4d64bb4ba5 hwmon: (applesmc) Re-work SMC comms
Commit fff2d0f701 ("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, MacBookAir1,1,
MacBookAir3,1

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
