[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 7/9] drm/i915: Fix for DP CTS test 4.2.2.5 - I2C DEFER handling

For test 4.2.2.5 to pass per the Link CTS Core 1.2 rev1.1 spec, the source
device must attempt at least 7 times to read the EDID when it receives an
I2C defer. The normal DRM code makes only 7 retries, regardless of whether
or not the response is a native defer or an I2C defer. Test 4.2.2.5 fails
since there are native defers interspersed with the I2C defers which
results in less than 7 EDID read attempts.

The solution is to decrement the retry counter when an I2C DEFER is returned
such that another read attempt will be made. This situation should normally
only occur in compliance testing, however, as a worse case real-world
scenario, it would result in 13 attempts ( 6 native defers, 7 I2C defers)
for a single transaction to complete. The net result is a slightly slower
response to an EDID read that shouldn't significantly impact overall
performance.
