Hi Ville,

So I see a few concerns/questions:
- Why is the Max bpp value 0 in intel_dp_max_bpp, is that a valid case
and how should our link configurations handle that case when max_bpp
is 0?
- This is happening in a bug I am looking at with HDMI PCON, @Ankit
Nautiyal  have we ever seen something similar where max_bpp for HDMi
PCON
is returned 0?
- I dont think its a problem with DSC code, but rather
intel_dp_compute_link_config() outer for loop where we vary
from max_bpp to min_bpp and see if any bpp works with available link
bw, how should we handle this when max_bpp = 0 if you are saying thats
a valid case?
- In this patch if I return -EINVAL instead of 0, then atleast the
entire encoder_config will fail and that will fail the modeset, since
it assumes max_bpp cannot be 0

Could you please help answer above concerns and how to handle max bpp
= 0 case if that is valid? This patch is simply making that invalid
resulting into modeset failure
