Since we always retry in drm_dp_dpcd_access() regardless of the error, we're going to make a lot of noise if the aux->transfer function prints it's own errors (as is the case with radeon). If we can print the error code here, this reduces the need for drivers to do this. So instead of having to print "dp_aux_ch timed out" over 32 times we can just print once.
