Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 080/133] drm/i915: Limit the number of loops for reading a split 64bit register

3.16.7-ckt18 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Chris Wilson <chris@...is-wilson.co.uk>

commit acd29f7b22262d9e848393b9b6ae13eb42d22514 upstream.

In I915_READ64_2x32 we attempt to read a 64bit register using 2 32bit
reads. Due to the nature of the registers we try to read in this manner,
they may increment between the two instruction (e.g. a timestamp
counter). To keep the result accurate, we repeat the read if we detect
an overflow (i.e. the upper value varies). However, some hardware is just
plain flaky and may endless loop as the the upper 32bits are not stable.
Just give up after a couple of tries and report whatever we read last.

v2: Use the most recent values when erring out on an unstable register.
