The existing SBS code explicitly sets the selected battery in the SBS
manager regardless of whether the battery in question is already selected.
This causes bus timeouts on Apple hardware. Check for this case and avoid
it.

Hi Matthew:
            This patch is to avoid a redundant battery select operation when
the battery is selected. But the symptom "bus timeouts" is a bus transaction
issue, right?  Will this happen during other SBS write/read operations? Do we
need to increase the wait time of SMBUS transaction?

Well, the patch does the job and is needed on a macbook air.
What should we test to make it potentially better?
