 From the CI builds, its been observed that during a driver
reload/insert, dp dual mode read function sometimes fails to
read from dual mode devices (like LSPCON) over i2c-over-aux
channel.

This patch:
- adds some delay and few retries, allowing a scope for these
   devices to settle down and respond.
- changes one error log's level from ERROR->DEBUG as we want
   to call it an error only after all the retries are exhausted.

V2: Addressed review comments from Jani (for loop for retry)

I think the ret == 0 case should be handled with the rest of
partial-read cases (which we check against further down). So the above
should be
		if (ret >= 0)
My thinking for this case was, that, partial error cases also should be given retries, and try again. IN this way, there is a possibility that in the next attempt there would be proper read. but if after the retries too, we see partial read, then we should call it an error.

Does it sound like a good thing to do ?

With this fixed it looks ok to me, so fwiw:
Reviewed-by: Imre Deak <imre.deak@xxxxxxxxx>

Note that ideally we wouldn't retry for error returns like
-ENOTSUPPORTED, -ENOMEM, -E2BIG, but it's not a big deal to do that
either. One possibility to solving that and also making this workaround
more generic is to reuse the existing retry logic in __i2c_transfer() by
making it retry in all relevant error cases (timeout/IO) and setting
i2c_adapter::retries for the LSPCON adaptor. But that can be done as a
follow-up.
