Definitely an improvement. However, returning -ENXIO on all errors
seems wrong. This error value should only be returned on missing ack
from the slave on address byte. Isn't it possible to distinguish
between different error kinds? M_SMB_ERROR_TYPE seems promising, but
one would need to look up the datasheet (which I don't have) to
discover its meaning.
