[PATCH 1/2] drm/kms: Make i2c buses faster

A udelay value of 20 leads to an I2C bus running at only 25 kbps. A
value of 40 as the nouveau driver has is even slower at 12.5 kbps. I2C
devices can typically operate faster than this, 50 kbps should be fine
for all devices (and compliant devices can always stretch the clock is
needed.)

FWIW, the vast majority of framebuffer drivers set udelay to 10
already. So set it to 10 in DRM drivers too, this will make EDID block
reads faster. We might even lower the udelay value later if no problem
is reported.
