The current implementation of `ixgbe_write_i2c_combined_generic_int` and `ixgbe_write_i2c_byte_generic_int` sets `max_retry` to `1`, which makes the condition `retry < max_retry` always evaluate to `false`. This renders the retry mechanism ineffective, as the debug message and retry logic are never executed.
This patch increases `max_retry` to `3` in both functions, aligning them with the retry logic in `ixgbe_read_i2c_combined_generic_int`. This ensures that the retry mechanism functions as intended, improving robustness in case of I2C write failures. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
