Nit: adjust_pclk_for_compression

As discussed before we realized that this change is more-or-less a hack,
since downstream calculates pclk quite differently - at least for
command-mode panels.  Do you still intend to land this patch this way,
or go the proper route by introducing the right math from the get-go?
Or is the math at least correct for video-mode panels?

This function requires a documentation comment to explain that all.

This sounds like a prime candidate for msm_dsc_get_bytes_per_line(), if
bits_per_component==8 is assumed.  In fact, it then becomes identical
to the following line in dsi_host.c which you added previously:

	hdisplay = DIV_ROUND_UP(msm_dsc_get_bytes_per_line(msm_host->dsc), 3);

If not, what is the difference between these two calculations?  Maybe
they both need to be in a properly-named helper.

As we established in the drm/msm issue [2] there is currently a
confusion whether this /3 (and the /3 in dsi_timing_setup) come from the
ratio between dsi_get_bpp() and dsc->bpp or something else.  Can you
clarify that with constants and comments?

As clarified in [1] I was not necessarily suggesting to move this math
to a separate helper, but to also use a few more properly-named
intermediate variables to not have multi-line math and self-documenting
code.  These lines could be split to be much more clear.

The confusion with this comment (and the reason the aforementioned
discussion [2] carried on so long) stems from the fact a division makes
sense for a bit/byte clock, but not for a pixel clock: we still intend
to send the same number of pixels, just spending less bytes on them.  So
as you clarify the /3 above, can you also clarify that here or drop this
comment completely when the function is correctly documented instead?
