No hurry and no worry, that is exactly why I requested this to be split
across multiple series so that we can make progress on that in isolation
(or rather, make progress on the first series in the chain before
iterating on the next).  On the other hand Dmitry made the right remark
that it does cause contention for some patches that only become relevant
in future series... but that's mostly down to how the patches are
distributed across series.

Not sure if "adjust" carries the meaning, but I'll leave it to you to
come up with an initial revision and then we can discuss.  I am mostly
curious if there are generic (DSI) timing rules that apply DRM-wide, or
if these would be MSM-specific.

Otherwise assigning them to properly named local variables is the
perfect way to self-document the code.

Yes that is very likely, but it is still a good idea to take into
account when looking into adjusting DSC timing: can we do that in any
sensible way without first accounting for transfer time?

Looks like the resolution was to drop it, but we should still first
apply the following hunk from it so that this line in your patch can be
skipped entirely.

    -	pclk_bpp = (u64)dsi_get_pclk_rate(msm_host->mode, is_bonded_dsi) * bpp;
    +	pclk_bpp = msm_host->pixel_clk_rate * bpp;
