Yes. I didn't know if there is a way to do this (or just don't define a
set-function), but I think I found the define for this.

I'm unfamiliar how the inner workings of DSC (I guess Display Stream
Compression?) are. But doesn't it also have color depth?
The active bpc should be what the GPU tells the display to actually show
the user when he looks at just one pixel.
So dithering computed on the host should not be included (aka when the
gpu sends a premade picture to the screen and tells it the lesser pbc),
while FRC dithering computed in the display firmware should be included
(since the GPU can't really tell the difference between FRC displays and
True 10-Bit displays, can't it?)
