I did some testing using a 60fps video I produced using the following command:
    ffmpeg -f lavfi -i testsrc=duration=10:size=80x50:rate=60 -vf “drawtext=text=%{n}:fontsize=36:r=60:x=(w-tw)/2: y=h-(1*lh):fontcolor=white:box=1:boxcolor=0x00000099” test_80x50.mp4

This 10-second video shows an increasing number on every frame, which makes it easy to spot dropped frames by recording the playback with a camera that can record more than 60fps (I used a 240fps camera).

When playing back that video with your current drm-6.2 branch I get a steady 60fps. But applying either your or my patch to mainline, only helps very little. Frames are being skipped more often than not in both cases.

Therefore, I need to investigate more and retract the patch for now.

The other two patches I sent earlier, however, are far more important for making the pinephone usable on mainline.

Best regards,
  Frank
