You mean the

		/* Must try at least 3 times according to DP spec */
		for (try = 0; try < 5; try++) {

bit? I thought that wasn't related to platform specific retries at all, since
the code in that loop seems to only reference parts of the DP spec, and that the

	while ((aux_clock_divider = intel_dp->get_aux_clock_divider(intel_dp, clock++))) {

Loop was the portion that was platform specific, since it prompts the driver to
retry the transaction with different aux clock divider rates depending on the
platform in use. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though.

Also - with the timeouts we're seeing, does the LTTPR return NAKs at all? That's
still another thing I had suggested alternate workarounds for so that we could
terminate transactions immediately on NAKs, so I wonder if that could save time
here as well.
