Subject: [REGRESSION] hwmon: (applesmc) avoid overlong udelay()

Hi,

after the $subject patch I get lots of errors like this:
[  120.378614] applesmc: send_byte(0x00, 0x0300) fail: 0x40
[  120.378621] applesmc: LKSB: write data fail
[  120.512782] applesmc: send_byte(0x00, 0x0300) fail: 0x40
[  120.512787] applesmc: LKSB: write data fail

CPU sticks at low speed and no fan is turning on.
Reverting this patch on top of 5.9-rc6 solves this problem.

Some information from dmidecode:

        String 5: e clang version 3.0 (tags/Apple/clang-211.10.1) (based on LLVM
        String 6: 3.0svn).
 
Writing to things in /sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768 gives also the
said errors.
But writing 1 to fan1_maunal and 5000 to fan1_output turns the fan on
despite error messages.
