Usually EDID retrieval is fine. However, sometimes, especially when the
machine is loaded, it fails, but succeeds after a few retries.
Based on a patch by Michael Buesch.

I was going to suggest tuning the i2c_adapter.retries of the affected
components, but that only covers EGAIN and not EREMOTEIO/ETIMEDOUT that
afflicts us. With the alteration to only retry the transfer of the
affected block, this looks to be a reasonable idea and complements the
logic to retry corrupted transfers.
