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?

Can we please postpone the cmd-vs-video discussion? Otherwise I will reserve myself a right to push a patch dropping CMD mode support until somebody comes with a proper way to handle CMD clock calculation.


It is off-topic for the sake of DSC 1.2 support. Yes, all CMD panel timings are a kind of a hack and should be improved. No, we can not do this as a part of this series. I think everybody agrees that with the current way of calculating CMD panel timings, this function does some kind of a trick.


This function requires a documentation comment to explain that all.

+ const struct drm_dsc_config *dsc)
+{
+ int new_hdisplay = DIV_ROUND_UP(mode->hdisplay * drm_dsc_get_bpp_int(dsc),

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);

This would imply a simple /3, but as far as I understand it is not correct here.


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

+ dsc->bits_per_component * 3);

I hope to see a documentation patch to be posted, telling that this scales hdisplay and thus pclk by the factor of compressed_bpp / uncompressed_bpp.

This is not how it is usually done, but I would accept a separate documentation patch going over the calculation here and in dsi_timing_setup (and maybe other unobvious cases, if there is anything left).


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?

+
+ return (new_hdisplay + (mode->htotal - mode->hdisplay))
+ * mode->vtotal * drm_mode_vrefresh(mode);

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.

I think it's fine more or less. One pair of parenthesis is unnecessary, but that's mostly it. Maybe `new_htotal' variable would make some sense.

Also, please excuse me if this was discussed somewhere. This calculation means that only the displayed data is compressed, but porches are not touched. Correct?

Looking for the perfection, I'd also move the pclk adjustment to come before the is_bonded_dsi check.


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?
