[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/dp: retry AUX transactions 32 times (v1.1)

[Dave Airlie]

From: Dave Airlie <airlied at redhat.com>

At least on two MST devices I've tested with, when
they are link training downstream, they are totally
unable to handle aux ch msgs, so they defer like nuts.
I tried 16, it wasn't enough, 32 seems better.

This fixes one Dell 4k monitor and one of the
MST hubs.

v1.1: fixup comment (Tom).
