Changes since v1:
- Converted dsi_adjust_pclk_for_compression() into kerneldoc (Marijn)
- Added a pointer from dsi_timing_setup() docs to
     dsi_adjust_pclk_for_compression() (Marijn)
- Fixed two typo (Marijn)

I am fine with this part of the doc.

I dont want to talk about data alignment nor formats and I will not

I would like to keep this simple and say that DPU sends 3 bytes of
compressed data / pclk (6 with widebus enabled) and all this math is
doing is that its calculating number of bytes and diving it by 3 OR 6
with widebus to calculate the pclk cycles. Thats it.

This makes it unclear, why do we simply by 3 rather than doing * dsc_bpp
/ 24.  My description might be inaccurate as I don't have hw docs at
hand, but simple description is not enough.


Why is it unclear? With compression, we are saying we process at 3
compressed bytes / pclk and this math is accurately giving the pclk cycles.

You are once again trying to arrive at 3 with compression factor in mind
by calculating target_bpp / src_bpp.

I am saying that its independent of that. Whenever we do compression
rate is 3 bytes of compressed data (and 6 with widebus) irrespective of
what your dsc_bpp was.

Abhinav, this is exactly what the confusion the pclk series is about.
There it was said (and committed to mainline now!) that pclk is based on
the compression factor of target_bpp / src_bpp.  Now you are saying
there is a fixed number of bytes sent by the (wide)bus between DPU-DSC
and DSI.

Is pclk used for more purposes besides just ticking for the data
transfer between DPU and DSI?


There is no confusion between what was said earlier and now.

This line is calculating the number of pclks needed to transmit one line
of the compressed data:

hdisplay = DIV_ROUND_UP(msm_dsc_get_bytes_per_line(msm_host->dsc), 3);

msm_dsc_get_bytes_per_line() is calculating the number of compressed
bytes as it uses the target bits_per_pixel

126 	 * @bits_per_pixel:
127 	 * Target bits per pixel with 4 fractional bits, bits_per_pixel << 4
128 	 */
129 	u16 bits_per_pixel;

(like I have said a few times, hdisplay is perhaps confusing us)

If you calculate the bytes this way you are already accounting for the
compression, so where is the confusion.

The pclk calculation does the same thing of using the ratio instead.

This is not answering my question whether the ratio for pclk calculation
should also be adjusted to account for widebus.  And if the ratio is
fixed, why use a fixed factor here but the ratio between
src_bpp:target_bpp here?  It only adds extra confusion.

Wide bus is dicussed separately. I think the question you are trying to ask is "why are we not using msm_dsc_get_bytes_per_line() in dsi_adjust_pclk_for_compression()?"
