DP Specs isn't really clear about the amount of retries,
but for cases it mentions retries it also mention times that
vary from 300us to 1ms.
For many cases hardware can handled the timeouts before retry
is possible and allowed, but for many other cases it is better
to wait and give time so the aux channels can recover.
For instance one general case there is when downstream device
is waking up from sleep states generating HPD so it might take
up to 1ms before getting responsive.
I believe with this msleep we could minimize the 32 times retries
and still let Dell monitors happy, but I don't have this monitor
to test here so let's just add the sleep for now and still retry
32 times.
v2: Include doc comment.
Also apply the 1ms to i2c helper.
Use usleep_range for better precision as suggested by Jani.
