This commit fixes such sinks not working by re-trying the contract
negotiation with PD-2.0 source-caps messages if we don't have a contract
after PD_N_HARD_RESET_COUNT hard-reset attempts.

The problem fixed by this commit was noticed with a Type-C to VGA dongle.

I really dislike the WARN_ON here. A bad remote can potentially trigger
this, which on systems with crash on warning enabled can result in a
reboot. Just revert to the original behavior here, and maybe add
a tcpm log message.

How would a bad remote trigger this?

We only ever call set_state with SRC_SEND_CAP_LOWER_PD_REVISION in the new
src_send_cap_timeout_state which has:

	if (port->negotiated_rev > PD_REV20)
		return SRC_SEND_CAP_LOWER_PD_REVISION;

So we really should never hit the WARN_ON, of we do hit the WARN_ON
something is seriously wrong.


If that situation can't happen, the check should not be there in the first
place. Otherwise you could litter the implementation with WARN_ON all over
the place, and make it all but unreadable. I am not in favor of code like
that.

So thinking more about this, the WARN_ON can actually trigger if we
receive a pd packet with a lower revision during the timeout window and
this does not cause the state to change.

This is an obvious time of check vs time of use problem and the fix is
to check if we should try to fallback / check the negotiated_rev after
the timeout, rather then when determining the next state to use after
the timeout, so that both the check and the decrement of negotiated_rev
are done in one go while holding the lock. I will rework the patch
accordingly and submit a new version.

Regards,

Hans
