[ Upstream commit f687e25a7a245952349f1f9f9cc238ac5a3be258 ]

>>From the CI builds, its been observed that during a driver
reload/insert, dp dual mode read function sometimes fails to
read from LSPCON device over i2c-over-aux channel.

This patch:
- adds some delay and few retries, allowing a scope for these
  devices to settle down and respond.
- changes one error log's level from ERROR->DEBUG as we want
  to call it an error only after all the retries are exhausted.

V2: Addressed review comments from Jani (for loop for retry)
V3: Addressed review comments from Imre (break on partial read too)
V3: Addressed review comments from Ville/Imre (Add the retries
    exclusively for LSPCON, not for all dp_dual_mode devices)
V4: Added r-b from Imre, sending it to dri-devel (Jani)
