Display Stream Compression (DSC) compresses the display stream in host which
is later decoded by panel. This series enables this for Qualcomm msm driver.
This was tested on Google Pixel3 phone which use LGE SW43408 panel.

The changes include adding DT properties for DSC then hardware blocks support
required in DPU1 driver and support in encoder. We also add support in DSI
and introduce required topology changes.

In order for panel to set the DSC parameters we add dsc in drm_panel and set
it from the msm driver.

Complete changes which enable this for Pixel3 along with panel driver (not
part of this series) and DT changes can be found at:
git.linaro.org/people/vinod.koul/kernel.git pixel/dsc_rfc

I would concede the point that DT is msm specific. I dont disagree on
making them a common dsc biding which anyone can use. I think your idea
does have merits...

I am still not sure who should include these properties, would it be the
panel or host. Either would work and rest of the system can use these
properties...

At the moment, I will comment on the bindings first and my idea on how 
to proceed.
The bindings mentioned here: 
https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/20210521124946.3617862-3-vkoul@kernel.org/ 
seem to be just
taken directly from downstream which was not the plan.

I think all of these should be part of the generic panel bindings as 
none of these are QC specific:

@@ -188,6 +195,14 @@ Example:
  		qcom,master-dsi;
  		qcom,sync-dual-dsi;

+		qcom,mdss-dsc-enabled;
+		qcom,mdss-slice-height = <16>;
+		qcom,mdss-slice-width = <540>;
+		qcom,mdss-slice-per-pkt = <1>;
+		qcom,mdss-bit-per-component = <8>;
+		qcom,mdss-bit-per-pixel = <8>;
+		qcom,mdss-block-prediction-enable;
+

How about having a panel-dsc.yaml which will have these properties and 
have a panel-dsc node to have this information?

I would like to hear the feedback on this proposal then the series can 
be reworked.

Thanks

Only that I wouldn't get too hung up on existing snapdragon ACPI
tables.. not sure if there is prior art as far as ACPI tables for this
on x86 systems, if so that *might* be a thing to consider, but
otherwise it does sound a bit like we want less qcom specific bindings
here.  But other than that I'll leave it to folks who spend more time
thinking about bindings.. left to my own devices I'd come up with a
point solution and go back to working on mesa, so that probably isn't
the opinion you want to follow ;-)
