For whatever reason, I've found that some laptops aren't immediately capable of doing aux transactions with their docks when they come out of standby. While I'm still not entirely sure what the cause of this is, sleeping for 30ms and then retrying drm_dp_mst_topology_mgr_resume() should be a sufficient enough workaround until we find a real fix.

Hm, since it's the dp aux that fails (and not something higher up apparently) shouldnt' we have this massive retry somewhere in the dp aux helpers maybe? DP resume in general is a bit fragile, maybe we're just missing a lot of retries in general?
Either way this needs a lot more details. Comment definitely should start out with FIXME, and the commit message should have a protocol of all the experiments you've done thus far. Yes this means a ridiculously long commit message, but in roughly 2 weeks someone else will go wtf on this, and then they must be able to read up the full story. And we need links to bugzillas and mail threads, too.
And please Cc: Art with this one too.
Thanks, Daniel
