Maybe consider using BIT() while at it.

/* Please use standard comments */

Also, what does the "<" mean ? Is that supposed to be negated 
(ie bit set means not busy) ? If so, that isn't a standard notation
that I am aware of. Maybe "not set if busy in the middle of a command"
would be better in this case.

I would suggest to keep send_byte() and change it to the following.

static int send_byte(u8 cmd, u16 port)
{
	return send_byte_data(cmd, port, false);
}

That would limit the number of changes needed later in the code
(it is never called with a hard 'true' as parameter).

	u8 wstat = skip ? 0 : SMC_STATUS_BUSY;

This fits one line, and the error code
should really not be overwritten.

	ret = wait_status(SMC_STATUS_BUSY, SMC_STATUS_BUSY | SMC_STATUS_IB_CLOSED);
	if (ret)
		return ret;

That really fits into one line.

Can you drop this message ? wait_status() already displays a message,
after all. Also, please reverse error handling, and don't overwrite
error codes.

	ret = wait_status(wstat, SMC_STATUS_BUSY)
	if (ret)
		return ret;

Actually, this can be simplified to
	return wait_status(wstat, SMC_STATUS_BUSY);
or, since wstat is only used once,
	return wait_status(skip ? 0 : SMC_STATUS_BUSY, SMC_STATUS_BUSY);

Another one of those odd continuation lines.

> +		pr_warn("send_command SMC was busy\n");

and logging noise. As for error handling, same as above, please

	ret = wait_status(0, SMC_STATUS_IB_CLOSED);
	if (ret)
		return ret;

Odd/unnecessary continuation line again.

Wow, up to three messages on failure. Please, don't do that.
One message per failure is really enough. Please simplify to

	return wait_status(SMC_STATUS_BUSY, SMC_STATUS_BUSY);

Actually, I notice that the callers of send_command()
log yet again. Maybe it is time to drop all the messages
from here and from send_argument() and only log in the
calling code.

Please align comments with code. Maybe move the comment ahead
of the for statement. Or drop it entirely - it doesn't add that
much value. Actually, this blob would go away if you keep
send_byte().

Align continuatiuon lines with preceding '('. "checkpatch --strict"
reports all those alignment issues.

space before and after '-', please. checkpatch --strict will tell.

I notice the driver keeps overwriting error codes. Oh well.
I can't expect you to fix that, and it should not be fixed as part
of this patch, but please don't make it worse (not here, but above
where calls are changed).

Unnecessary ( ) around i == end. Not sure if the 'end' variable
is worth it. Might as well make it "i == len - 1" and let the compiler
optimize it at will.
