[PATCH v2] ARM: arria10: xload: retry FPGA configuration

From: Bruno Knittel <bruno.knittel at bruker.com>

The Intel documentation states that the FPGA configuration might fail.
This has been observed on the Enclustra AA1+ board where up to 4 retries
where required to configure the FPGA.

Debugging session showed that the data where correctly read from the
eMMC but yet the configuration failed.

This commit introduces a retry loop on the FPGA configuration.
Up to 10 retries (arbitrary) are attempted.
As the hardware can't be used anyway without the FPGA loaded, this
doesn't introduce any boot time problems. Taking longer is better than
just hang()ing.
