Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL for-4.9 42/53] ixgbe: Reduce I2C retry count on X550
 devices

From: Tony Nguyen <anthony.l.nguyen@...el.com>

[ Upstream commit 3f0d646b720d541309b11e190db58086f446f41e ]

A retry count of 10 is likely to run into problems on X550 devices that
have to detect and reset unresponsive CS4227 devices. So, reduce the I2C
retry count to 3 for X550 and above. This should avoid any possible
regressions in existing devices.
