From: Loic Domaigne <hidden>
Date: 2013-03-08 21:03:24

This patch allows to boost the performance if used for MirrorLink(TM). It
is derived from a patch provided by Nokia-LC/Berlin. It optimizes the transfer
speed for the Nokia N60x,70x. which requires special settings (jumbo frame, 
no batching)

This patch applies to longterm kernel version 3.4.35.
