We'll also have to see how the link config optimization for > DSC turns out. In case of DSC, currently we only compute DSC params and enable DSC if intel_dp_compute_link_config() returns a false. So since the fast_narrow link calculation is embedded within the intel_dp_compute_link_config(), DSC can still be enabled if link config returns false with either fast_narrow or wide approach. However ideally, for power savings for eDP we could eventually enable DSC first if supported by the panel, find the mode rate with compressed bpp and then optimize the link config with that compressed bpp. So reverse the order of dsc_compute_config and intel_dp_compute_link_config() Everything else in the patch looks good to me.
