From: Chris Wolfe <cwo...@chromium.org>
Unfortunately some combinations of hardware seem to generate successful
communications on the aux channel, which always report deferred. As a
result native_write can wind up in an infinite loop.
This hack adds a large (~10ms) retry limit to avoid a kernel panic,
while hopefully minimizing the impact on working hardware.

BUG=chromium-os:34840
TEST=Manually connect DP to VGA adapter to problem system. Added display
powers up and works normally, rather than black screen and reboot.
