I'd still keep the `-EINVAL` on `if (dsc->bits_per_pixel & 0xf)` to
guarantee that there is no fractional part.
After all, as explained in the patch description, none of this code /
the DSI driver in general seems to be able to handle fractional bits per
pixel.

Same feeling here, and have already set it up that way; added two extra
patches to 1. replace this with DIV_ROUND_UP() and 2. remove the
recalculation of slice_chunk_size (disguised as bytes_in_slice) above.
