[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v2] drm/i915: Correct max delay for HDMI hotplug live status checking

[Wang, Gary C]

Yes, your code is clear. It tried to check hot-plug with 4 times based on delay setup (30ms) in following patch,

    drm/i915: Check live status before reading edid

I will refine patch for your review again.

Thanks!

It used to try twice, with 10 ms in between, but also with 10 ms after the last attempt, success or not.

Basically the "retry <= 3" is never the stop condition in your loop, and is thus misleading.

How about this instead, with the paradigm counting for loop:

	for (try = 0; !live_status && try < 4; try++) {
		if (try)
                	mdelay(10);
		live_status = intel_digital_port_connected(...);
	}

Note that I didn't actually check if this is the right thing to do; this is just your loop rewritten as I'd write it... ;)

BR,
Jani.
