The difference is that in fig 40(b) there is only one packet of data 
(check closely, there is only one header).

In fig 41, there are multiple headers so its showing multiple packets.

Unless explicitly requested by the panel, we can use 1. From the device 
tree files of the panels we support downstream, I do see 
qcom,mdss-dsc-slice-per-pkt set to 2 for some panels. I dont know 
whether those panels will not work with 1. I really don't think any of 
the DSC panels working with MSM were upstreamed.

I think the one jessica will be posting (and merging) will be the first 
and that works with 1.

If there are other panels in the works which require 2 slice_per_pkt, I 
would wait to first see them on the list and if they cannot work with 1 
slice_per_pkt, add support for that.
