   4 Subject: [PATCH 4/4] net: stmmac: increase TX coalesce timer to 5ms
   5
   6 Commit 8fce33317023 ("net: stmmac: Rework coalesce timer and fix
   7 multi-queue races") decreased the TX coalesce timer from 40ms to 1ms.
   8
   9 This caused some performance regression on some target (regression was
  10 reported at least on ipq806x) in the order of 600mbps dropping from
  11 gigabit handling to only 200mbps.
  12
  13 The problem was identified in the TX timer getting armed too much time.
  14 While this was fixed and improved in another commit, performance can be
  15 improved even further by increasing the timer delay a bit moving from
  16 1ms to 5ms.
  17
  18 The value is a good balance between battery saving by prevending too
  19 much interrupt to be generated and permitting good performance for
  20 internet oriented devices.
