3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit bb24153a3f13dd0dbc1f8055ad97fe346d598f66 upstream.
The default delay 5 jiffies is too much when the kernel is compiled with
HZ=100 - it results in jumpy cursor in Xwindow.
In order to find out the optimal delay, I benchmarked the driver on
1280x720x30fps video. I found out that with HZ=1000, 10ms is acceptable,
but with HZ=250 or HZ=300, we need 4ms, so that the video is played
without any frame skips.
This patch changes the delay to this value.
