Some time, EC works abnormally with IBF flag always setting. IBF means "The host has written a byte of data to the command or data port, but the embedded controller has not yet read it". This will cause all EC requests to be failed with timeout error. After several trials, find restarting transaction with IBF flag setting can make EC work again. This patch is to remove the IBF flag check before restarting transaction and increase the repeat number to 5. Some time, once restart is not enough. This bug happens on the different machines. (e.g Asus V1S, Dell Latitude E6530, Samsung R719, Acer Aspire 5930G, Sony Vaio SR19VN and so on).
