No.  The point Dmitry is making is **not** about this concidentally
using the same register, but about adding a common codepath to enable
compression on this hw_intf (regardless of the registers it needs to
touch).  Similar to how dpu_hw_intf_setup_timing_engine() programs the
hw_intf - including widebus! - for video-mode.

Or even more generically, have a struct similar to intf_timing_params
that says how the intf needs to be configured - without the caller
knowing about INTF_CONFIG2.

struct dpu_hw_intf_cfg is a very good example of how we can use a single
struct and a single callback to configure multiple registers at once
based on some input parameters.

Not in that way, but if there is a generic enable_compression() or
configure_compression() callback (or even more generic, similar to
setup_intf_cfg in dpu_hw_ctl) that would work for both video-mode and
command-mode, maybe that is beneficial.
