The number of AUX retries specified in the DP specs is 7. Currently, to make Dell 4k monitors happier, the number of retries are 32.
i915 also retries 5 times (intel_dp_aux_xfer) which means in the case of AUX timeout we actually retries 32 * 5 = 160 times.

So making the number of aux retires a variable to allow for fine tuning and optimization of aux timing.

The original comment was helpful; this one isn't.

Besides that, what problem does this patchset address? Too much probing? If I connect a Dell monitor to an Intel card, how often does it have to probe?

Best regards
