The computer tells me that if widebus=off, regardless of the compression
ratio and pixel depth before compression, 24 bits of compressed data are
transferred per pclk, and then you can transfer 1/2/4 slices per xfer

(As a note, the DSC compression ratio isn't fixed)

This also impacts the byte/pixel clock calculations (but dsi_host.c seems
to have taken care of that)

Maybe Dmitry knows something more..
