Hi Daniel,

Sorry for the very late reply, I'm only reviewing this patch series now.

I agree it's much cleaner, and certainly more efficient too.

Interesting. I wonder if this could explain the lockups we were seeing
when we first tried to convert the driver to use interrupts many years
ago.

How does this interact with hwpec? The driver already waits for INTR in
that case. Should this be dropped now, or do we really need to do it
twice?

I agree, modulo comments below.

Overall I like these changes much. But I would recommend not mixing
code cleanups (point 1 above) with behavioral changes (points 2 and 3).
It's a lot easier to review, test, bisect and backport patches when
each patch does juts one thing.

I think the following would be more efficient?

		} while (!(status & (SMBHSTSTS_BYTE_DONE | SMBHSTSTS_DEV_ERR)) &&

I am also curious why we wouldn't check for other error flags, in
particular SMBHSTSTS_FAILED and SMBHSTSTS_BUS_ERR? It might be a good
use case for STATUS_FLAGS.

This should be usleep_range(250, 500) these days.

I think it would make sense to have (at least) a debug message here if
we hit the timeout, as we do in i801_wait_hwpec() for example.
