Hmm, this gets pretty inefficient. You set SB800_PIIX4_SMB_IDX to
piix4_port_sel_sb800 twice and compare the new port with the previous
port twice, even though the result will inevitably be the same. The
original code would just unconditionally restore the original port
value, which was also not always needed, but was cheaper in the end.

I can't really think of a better way though, so, so be it :-(

I wonder why we insist on restoring the port though. When you read
multiple values from the same bus (and I2C device drivers do that a
lot, obviously) you end up switching ports a lot for no good reason. I
looked at the git history and it has been that way since support for
the multiplexed buses was added back in 2015. There's a mutex
protecting that section of code anyway, so I don't think restoring the
port buys us anything we did not already have. The only benefit I can
see is to leave the port setting in its original state on suspend and
shutdown (and we know by experience that it can be important to the
BIOS) but then we should just do it in the suspend and remove
functions, instead of after every transfer.
