I don't think this is the way to go. During normal
(non-compliance-testing) operation we never zero i2c_defer_count, so
we can't expect this to work, since we may start drm_dp_i2c_do_msg
with a i2c_defer_count value different than zero. Also, during i915.ko
DP compliance we only zero i2c_defer_count at the very beginning of
each test, not at every aux transaction, and I really think we need a
solution that is not specific to compliance testing.
