As explained in [0] currently we may leave SMBHSTSTS_INUSE_STS set,

Seems patch [0] needs a little bit more of review effort, therefore
I'd suggest to apply a part of it as quick win. Just clearing
SMBHSTSTS_INUSE_STS when leaving i801_access() should fix the
referenced issue and leaves more time for discussing a more
sophisticated locking handling.
  out:
+	/* Unlock the SMBus device for use by BIOS/ACPI */
+	outb_p(SMBHSTSTS_INUSE_STS, SMBHSTSTS(priv));
+
  	pm_runtime_mark_last_busy(&priv->pci_dev->dev);
Yup, I was thinking of suggesting just this part if the rest of the 
patch were deemed more controversial. Thanks :)
