Subject[PATCH] kernel: time: Modify test_udelay to allow for 1% tolerance.
Date
test_udelay had a tolerance of udelay() being up to 0.5% fast but
that tolerance is insufficient for some platforms. For ARM, the error
is around 0.7% so increase the test to allow for up to 1% which was
previously described as being acceptable for udelay().

See the following thread for more details:
