Subject: [PATCH 4.18 164/197] drm/amd/display: fix type of variable

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

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

From: Gustavo A. R. Silva <gustavo@...eddedor.com>

commit fe78627d430435d22316fe39f2012ece31bf23c2 upstream.

Currently, the maximum value that *counter* can reach is 255, and
code at line 150: while (counter < 1000) { implies a bigger value
could be expected.

Fix this by changing the type of variable *counter* from uint8_t
to uint16_t.
