Hi Daniel,

Well, nice try, but no cigar. (-: That's actually much worse than 
before. The display is now unstable on *both* the internal
and external display, and inspecting the FW_BLC register, it is 
completely off. The current code leaves it at 0x1050101, but
it should be at least 0x1060106, that is, the watermark needs to be 
higher, not lower. I still don't understand why a higher
latency causes a lower watermark, but maybe things work different than 
in my mental model.

Greetings,
     Thomas
