This avoids using two LMs instead of one when the display width is lower

actual maxwidth is 2560, so we would use two LMs for 1280x720 or
1920x1080 resolutions, while one is enough.

While this looks correct (and following what we have in 4.4), later vendor kernels specify the topology explicitly. Probably we should check this with the hw guys, because it might be the following case: even though a single LM can supply the mode, it will spend more power compared to two LMs.


Yes. 2 LM split will allow the HW to run in lower mdp core clock. Can you maintain the split_threshold in the hw catalog until per mode topology is available?
