[Skiboot] [PATCH] p8-i2c: Limit number of retry attempts

[Oliver O'Halloran]

Current we will attempt to start an I2C transaction until it succeeds.
In the event that the OCC does not release the lock on an I2C bus this
results in an async token being held forever and the kernel thread that
started the transaction will block forever while waiting for an async
completion message. Fix this by limiting the number of attempts to
start the transaction.
