Fwiw this discussion happened in dsi_update_dsc_timing() where a similar
calculation was the sole user of bits_per_pixel. This function,
dsi_populate_dsc_params(), has more uses of bits_per_pixel so it made
more sense to compute and document this "discrepancy" up front.
drm_dsc_compute_rc_parameters() doesn't document where this "16" comes
from, unfortunately (requiring knowledge of the contents of the struct).

There's alread a:

/* FIXME: need to call drm_dsc_compute_rc_parameters() so that rest of
* params are calculated
*/

And it was trivial to replace everything below that comment with this
function call; I have not checked the math in detail but it assigns
_every_ field that was also assigned here, and the resulting values
provide an identical DCS PPS (which I happened to be printing to compare
to downstream, leading to find all the issues solved in this series) and
working phone screen.

Makes me wonder why this wasn't caught in review and replaced from the
get-go...

Do you want me to do this in a v3, before applying this fractional-bits
fix? At that point this becomes the only user of bits_per_pixel:

dsc->initial_offset = 6144; /* Not bpp 12 */
if (bpp != 8)
dsc->initial_offset = 2048; /* bpp = 12 */

Note that intel_vdsc.c has the exact same code right where they fill
vdsc_cfg->initial_offset:

int bpp = vdsc_cfg->bits_per_pixel >> 4;

I'm inclined to leave this as it is.
