More interesting would be a link to the Mesa MR upstreaming this
bitfield to dsi.xml [2] (which I have not found on my own yet).

So this should allow us to divide pclk by 2, or have much lower latency?
Otherwise it'll tick enough times to transmit the data twice.

Note that I brought up the exact same concerns when you used the 3:1
ratio from dsi_bpp / dsc_bpp in your pclk reduction patch (instad of the
number of bits/bytes that DPU sends to DSI per pclk), but no-one has
replied to my inquiry yet.

Nit: I wonder if this is more concise when written as:

u32 bytes_per_pclk;
...
if (!video && widebus)
bytes_per_pclk = 6;
else
bytes_per_pclk = 3;

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

That is less duplication, **and** the value becomes self-documenting!

Can we also support widebus for uncompressed streams (sending 2 pixels
of bpp=24 per pclk), and if so, is that something you want to add in the
future (a comment would be nice)?

Same comment as on your BURST_MODE patch (which this'll conflict with):
does this belong to the timing setup or is it better moved to
dsi_ctrl_config?
