Subject: [PATCH 3/7] drm/radeon: Don't retry 7 times in radeon_dp_dpcd()

When this code was written, we didn't retry DP aux transactions on any
error, which required retrying important transactions like this in
individual drivers. Since that's no longer the case, retrying here is
not necessary. As well, we retry any aux transaction on any error 32
times. 7 * 32 = 224, which means this loop causes us to retry grabbing
the dpcd 224 times. This is definitely far more then we actually need to
do.
