Currently, when going with DSC for DP, we take the max lane, rate and pipe bpp, to get the maximum compressed bpp possible. We then set the output bpp to this value. It might be possible to have lesser rate or lane count, for which the same compressed bpp works. This RFC series attempts to get the best compressed bpp such that we have maximum bpc, with minimum link rate and lane possible. The policy here is chosen such that 'best compressed bpp' mean minimum compression, ie. maximum compressed bpp. It means compress only that is sufficient to sent over the link, and for that compressed bpp, use minimum lanes, and rate. Current series, only touches the DSC for DisplayPort. eDP might require some more changes and also a different policy. Rev2: Added fix to check that force_dsc_dpc <= connector max_requested_bpc.
