can: kvaser_usb: Retry the first bulk transfer on -ETIMEDOUT
On some x86 laptops, plugging a Kvaser device again after an unplug makes the firmware always ignore the very first command. For such a case, provide some room for retries instead of completely exiting the driver init code. Signed-off-by: Ahmed S. Darwish <ahmed.darwish@valeo.com> Cc: linux-stable <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Marc Kleine-Budde <mkl@pengutronix.de>
