That is to be expected if the display port sink replies with repeated aux defer messages. Error for the retry limit first, then error for the modeset failing due to this. Don't worry about it.

(The modeset failure message comes from the post-modeset state checker. We could handle this more gracefully, but there are scenarios where the failures we detect during modeset do not result in a non-working display... while bailing out early would definitely result in a non-working display.)
