Sorry, but that looks like a programming quiz to me. At most how many
time does drm_dp_dual_mode_read() get called?
With this, for example, the C programmer's spine tells you "six times"
for the paradigm for loop before you even really stop to think about it:
for (try = 0; try < 6; try++) {
if (try)
usleep_range(500, 1000);
ret = drm_dp_dual_mode_read();
if (!ret)
break;
}
BR,
Jani.
PS. I'm left wondering if "retry = 5" was there to emphasize that
there's one try and five *retries*.
