4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Tony Nguyen <anthony.l.nguyen@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 3f0d646b720d541309b11e190db58086f446f41e ] A retry count of 10 is likely to run into problems on X550 devices that have to detect and reset unresponsive CS4227 devices. So, reduce the I2C retry count to 3 for X550 and above. This should avoid any possible regressions in existing devices.
