Is it really necessary to call this for every command (instead of once during probe) ?

I don't have the interface specification, but is ~600 uS guaranteed to be sufficient time for the firmware to respond ?
[naveenk:] The SB-RMI is explained in the APML chapter of the reference manual available https://www.amd.com/en/support/tech-docs?keyword=55898
I did not find any mention of the response time, we ran several times and never seen the loop execute twice. Do you have any recommendation here ?

Please use dev_err(). Also, does this really warrant an error message ?
I am concerned that it may fill up the log if there is an issue with the client, eg if it hangs. On top of that, there is already an error message below. Please no more than one message per error.
[naveenk:] Sure will change to dev_err and remove one of the prints

> + ret = -1;

Please use standard error codes (-ETIMEDOUT ? -EIO ? -EPROTO ?).
-1 translates to -EPERM which is presumably not what you want.
[naveenk:] Will use -EIO

This is a concern in conjunction with the ignored error in sbrmi_write().
If there is an error after reading a number of bytes, the returned value will be partial/random.
[naveenk:] Will address the return value

> + msg->data_out |= (ret & 0xff) << i * 8;

The mask is unnecessary here. A byte read will never return a value > 0xff.
[naveenk:] Sure will remove

dev_err(). Also, please consider that this may fill the log if the client or the i2c controller/bus has a problem.
[naveenk:] Will remove this print

Unnecessary (already initialized above).

> + rmi_mailbox_xfer(data, &msg);

Not sure if it is a good idea to ignore an error return here.
As far as I can see in rmi_mailbox_xfer(), the returned value is more or less random if there is an error.

If the maximum power limit is static, it might make sense to read it only once in the prob function and cache the limit in struct sbrmi_data instead of reading it repeatedly.
[naveenk:] The maximum limit is fixed, will cache during probe.
If the limit is not static and it is indeed necessary to re-read the limit, isn't this racy if there are multiple write requests in parallel ?
[naveenk:] the operating limit value can be set to a value below the max_limit
