[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 1/2] Give up on edid retries when i2c tells us that bus is not there

[Eugeni Dodonov]

From: Eugeni Dodonov <eugeni.dodonov at intel.com>

This allows to avoid talking to a non-existent bus repeatedly until we
finally timeout. The non-existent bus is signalled by -ENXIO error,
provided by i2c_algo_bit:bit_doAddress call.

As the advantage of such change, all the other routines which use
drm_get_edid would benefit for this timeout.

As the disadvantage comes the fact that I only tested it on Intel cards,
so I am not sure whether it would work on nouveau and radeon.

This change should potentially fix
