drm/panel-simple: Retry if we timeout waiting for HPD
On an Innolux N116BCA panel that I have in front of me, sometimes HPD simply doesn't assert no matter how long you wait for it. As per the very wise advice of The IT Crowd ("Have you tried turning it off and on again?") it appears that power cycling is enough to kick this panel back into a sane state. >From tests on this panel, it appears that leaving it powered off for a while stimulates the problem. Adding a 6 second sleep at the start of panel_simple_prepare_once() makes it happen fairly reliably and, with this delay, I saw up to 3 retries needed sometimes. Without the 6 second sleep, however, the panel came up much more reliably the first time or after only 1 retry. While it's unknown what the problems are with this panel (and probably the hardware should be debugged), adding a few retries to the power on routine doesn't seem insane. Even if this panel's problems are attributed to the fact that it's pre-production and/or can be fixed, retries clearly can help in some cases and really don't hurt.
