In reality that function can return whatever bogus value it wants, like 71 slots, while you have only 63 available. The real check is done in drm_dp_mst_atomic_check, which would of course reject that configuration, however by that moment its going to be too late for swithcing to DSC. So looke like I will have to move that check at least partly to where DSC/no DSC decision is done. However if there are multiple displays we get another problem, lets say we have 2 displays requiring 40 vcpi slots each in DSC mode with certain input bpp. We have now either option to reject the whole config or go back and try with another bpp to check if we can reduce amount of slots. Because by default we choose the first one which fits, however by the time when compute_config is called, we still don't have all config computed, which might lead to that last crtc can either run our of vcpi slots or we will have to go back and try recalculating with higher compression ratio. My other question was that DSC was supposed to be "visually" lossless, wondering why we are still trying with different bpps? Could have just set highest compression ratio right away. So need to sort this out first before floating new series.
