Basically I'm trying to make the code match the comments, which it
didn't before.

On the exynos side, it's very clear that we should disable retries.
The docs say "it is advisable to set this bit field to 0 because
hardware retry will be valid only when DP Rx does not send any reply."

On Rockchip, I don't see that in the docs.  However:

* Since the root IP block is the same/similar, presumably it suffers
the same issues.  It is plausible that the Rockchip IP block is newer
and can somehow be made to use the HW retries, but I don't actually
know that.

* Presumably elsewhere in the driver we are already assuming that the
HW retries aren't there and we're doing the work to retry things in
software.  I don't see any special cases for Rockchip there saying
something like "on Rockchip, we enable HW retries, so bypass SW
retries".

Probably nothing, but the old exynos code it used to do this.  Note
that 600 us is actually 0, so we could certainly skip it.

Unless I messed up, this particular patch isn't supposed to change
anything for exynos.

For the whole patch series, it's probably worthwhile to add Javier to
the series (CCed here).  In the past he has been helpful in getting
things tested on exynos-based boards.
