I think we have a bug with some dongle that defers a lot too. One idea
was to use a progressively longer delay for DP_AUX_NATIVE_REPLY_DEFER.

How about drm_dp_i2c_do_msg(), that one can receive native aux defer
too, along with i2c defer. It feels like both places should have the
same limit for native aux defer, but if you want to keep different i2c
defer retry limit it gets a bit trickier.

BR,
Jani.
