Subject: [PATCH 3.13 172/172] drm/i915/dp: add native aux defer retry limit

3.13-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@...el.com>

commit f51a44b9a6c4982cc25bfb3727de9bb893621ebc upstream.

Retrying indefinitely places too much trust on the aux implementation of
the sink devices.
