[PATCH linux dev-4.10] fsi: core: Allow more BREAKs to recover a failing link

Recovering a failing FSI link can require more than a single
BREAK command to reset the FSI slave. Test results indicate
that communications can be restored when a second or third
BREAK is sent when the previous attempts fail. Additionally,
even if a BREAK succeeds during error recovery process the FSI
slave may flag following access errors to SMODE, SISC, or SSTAT.
Repeated BREAKs will get the slave out of this fail mode.
