I managed to test on VC4, and the difference between the test results
with and without the patch is:

- cursor-vs-flip-toggle -> this test was getting a timeout and now is
failing due to:
completed 64 cursor updated in a period of 30 flips, we expect to
complete approximately 480 updates, with the threshold set at 240
Subtest cursor-vs-flip-toggle failed.
- flip-vs-cursor-toggle -> this was getting a timeout and now is passing
- short-flip-after-cursor-toggle -> this was failing and now is passing
- short-flip-before-cursor-toggle -> this was failing and now is passing

You can check the tests results before the patch series [1] and after
[2] in the links below:

[1] https://people.collabora.com/~koike/vc4-results-5.0.0-rc7+vanila/html/
[2] https://people.collabora.com/~koike/vc4-results-5.0.0-rc7+fb-patch/html/

I would appreciate is someone could review this patch.

Thanks!
