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