Thanks, it seems this patch has already been picked up for 6.10 [1] to test at
least, but I'd advise you to drop it until I resend it in v2, as it no longer
performs as written in the title.

When I wrote this patch in in June 2023, commit efcbd6f9cdeb ("drm/msm/
dsi: Enable widebus for DSI") from August 2023 wasn't there yet.  That patch
updates hdisplay (because it is unused after that point) with the number
of compressed bytes to be sent over each interface, which is effectively
hdisplay (based on slice_count * slice_width, so as explained in the commit
message that corresponds to half the panel width), divided by a compression
ratio of 3 or 6 depending on widebus, thus passing a way too low value into
dsi_update_dsc_timing().

As a result this patch regresses the DSC panel on my SM8150 Sony Xperia 1, and
likely also explains why it was quite hard to get the porches "just right" on
the Xperia 1 III with its dual-DSI dual-DSC 4k@...Hz panel (that these patches
are specifically for).

I'm still thinking of how to best fix that: probably introducing a new separate
local variable, though dsi_update_dsc_timing() only uses it to calculate
the number of slices per interface, which again as written in the commit
description, is currently required to already be for one interface (in other
words, the Xperia 1 with only a single intf sets slice_count=2, but the Xperia 1
III with 2 bonded DSI interfaces sets slice_count=1).  Which means that this is
always equivalent to slice_per_intf = dsc->slice_count.

Let me know which approach is preferred.
