The goal here is to offload aux retries handling from the
drivers to drm.
However there are 2 differents cases for retry:
1. Immediately retry - Hardware already took care of needed timeouts
before answering that a retry is possible.
2. Busy - Wait some time and retry.
This driver introduce the support for EAGAIN that can handle the
first case and a following patch will introduce EBUSY waits,
after all drivers counting on immediately retries are changed.
