Using bits_per_component * 3 as the divisor for the compressed INTF
timing width produces constant FIFO errors for panels such as the BOE
BF068MWM-TD0 which is a 10 bit panel.
The downstream driver calculates the compressed timing width by
dividing the total compressed bytes per line by 3 which does not depend
on bits_per_component. Switch the divisor to 24 to match downstream.

@bits_per_component: Bits per component to code (8/10/12) <= how the DSC pixels are encoded in the stream
@bits_per_pixel: Target bits per pixel with 4 fractional bits, bits_per_pixel << 4 <= the target display pixels
- bits_per_component is the transport width
- bits_per_pixel is the display width
- 3 is the DSC compression ratio
So for a RGB101010 DSC display bits_per_pixel should be 10 << 4
But here you say bits_per_component should be 8 ? can you share the downstream config of your panel ?
This is what is defined downstream for this panel, they're using 8:
https://github.com/NothingOSS/android_kernel_msm-6.1_nothing_sm7635/blob/sm7635/b/mr/vendor/qcom/proprietary/display-devicetree/display/dsi-panel-rm69220-dsc-fhd-plus-120hz-vid-boe.dtsi
Are you sure about the bits_per_component & bits_per_pixel values you set in the dsc parameters ?
I'm pretty sure they're correct, here's the panel driver I have atm:
https://github.com/AKoskovich/linux/blob/asteroids-6.19.y/drivers/gpu/drm/panel/panel-boe-bf068mwm-td0.c
So I looked at downstream, and bit-per-component is not used at all for the width calculation.
Here's the full downstream calculation with your panel:
intf_width = mode->timing.h_active; => 1080
slice_per_pkt = dsc_info->slice_per_pkt; => 2
slice_per_intf = DIV_ROUND_UP(intf_width, dsc_info->config.slice_width); => 1080/540 = 2
if (slice_per_pkt > slice_per_intf)
slice_per_pkt = 1;
bpp = DSC_BPP(dsc_info->config); => 8
bytes_in_slice = DIV_ROUND_UP(dsc_info->config.slice_width * bpp, 8); => 540 * 8 / 8 = 540
dsc_info->bytes_per_pkt = bytes_in_slice * slice_per_pkt; => 540 * 2 = 1080
dsc_info->pkt_per_line = slice_per_intf / slice_per_pkt; => 2 / 2 = 1
...
phys->dce_bytes_per_line = comp_info->dsc_info.bytes_per_pkt * comp_info->dsc_info.pkt_per_line; => 1080 * 1 = 1080
...
if (p->compression_en) {
if (p->wide_bus_en)
data_width = DIV_ROUND_UP(p->dce_bytes_per_line, 6); => 1080 / 6 = 180
else
data_width = DIV_ROUND_UP(p->dce_bytes_per_line, 3); => 1080 / 3 = 360
}
So you're right, it should be a fixed (8 * 3) division, and a (8 * 6) in case of widebus, but DSI widebus is not yet handled.
