Below is what I am experimenting with right now. I chose to keep the 
APPLESMC_MAX_WAIT to current 0x8000 (32ms). With the fixed loop 
termination and use of usleep_range() instead of udelay - I will try to 
run this a couple days and see if I can recreate the failure within 32ms.

Does this look ok? (I haven't yet changed send_byte to use usleep_range - 
if this approach looks ok I can change that as well.)
