hwmon: applesmc: lighter wait mechanism, drastic improvement
The read fail ratio is sensitive to the delay between the first byte
written and the first byte read; apparently the sensors cannot be rushed.
Increasing the minimum wait time, without changing the total wait time,
improves the fail ratio from a 8% chance that any of the sensors fails in
one read, down to 0.4%, on a Macbook Air. On a Macbook Pro 3,1, the
effect is even more apparent. By reducing the number of status polls, the
ratio is further improved to below 0.1%. Finally, increasing the total
wait time brings the fail ratio down to virtually zero.
