Subject: drm: Retry i2c transfer of EDID block after failure
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4819d2e4310796c4e9eef674499af9b9caf36b5a;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git

drm: Retry i2c transfer of EDID block after failure

Usually EDID retrieval is fine. However, sometimes, especially when the
machine is loaded, it fails, but succeeds after a few retries.

Based on a patch by Michael Buesch.
