[PATCH] drm/i915/dp: Improve clock recovery loop limit comment

[Nathan Ciobanu]

Clarifies the clock recovery loop limit comment that 80
max_cr_tries for pre-DP1.4 devices was chosen as a very
tolerant upper bound.
Assumptions made:
- DP1.4 syncs should be smarter so they won't need more
than 10 tries
- pre-DP1.4 syncs should be compliant enough to not need
that many tries (80) but we should tolerate any that may
trigger this corner case

Thx Nathan, I think this helps. I'm still curious how training normally
converges much faster than the total number of possibilities but - unlike
this latest clarification below - I expect the spec(s) to document that.
