N8x0 can update whole screen in two lcd refresh cycles (but admittedly
it just barely crosses this limit), which is enough to have no
tearing. But this is only true when running at OP 0 (400MHz). When
running at other operating points, RFBI is slower. It may be
interesting to experiment with better integration of omapfb kernel
driver with DVFS and try to always switch (at least temporarily) to OP
0 when performing screen updates.
