instead of mentioning like this, please use:
Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109982

Also instead of the "needed to address" it would be better
to add some reasoning explaining that
"empirically we got some bugs workarounded by increasing the timeout
 from 10ms to 15ms although spec was only requiring 4ms"
or something like that...

This define is spurious since it's in use in a single place.

Also, giving the timeout a name, like this, makes it appear it came from
the spec. Well, if it came from Spec it should be defined in the proper .h
files.

Since I don't believe this came from spec I believe we can just remove it
and go for the timeout directly on the function below.

Is this just a guess that you are trying to check?
I'm asking because I didn't see any indication that the increase
really fixed the issue.

So, if you are trying to just validate your approach maybe the try-bot
could be used?

Thanks,
Rodrigo.
