This allows to avoid talking to a non-responding bus repeatedly until we finally timeout after 15 attempts. We can do this by catching the -ENXIO error, provided by i2c_algo_bit:bit_doAddress call. Within the bit_doAddress we already try 3 times to get the edid data, so if the routine tells us that bus is not responding, it is mostly pointless to keep re-trying those attempts over and over again until we reach final number of retries. This change should fix https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41059 and improve overall edid detection timing by 10-30% in most cases, and by a much larger margin in case of phantom outputs (up to 30x in one worst case).
