Make it clear why the pkt_per_line value is being "divided by 2".

Should we switch to ffs() or fls() instead?


Just a ffs() on its own can be confusing as well (without the information that only powers of two are possible), I think like this is better.

Sounds fair. Could you please then add `if (pkt_per_line > 4) drm_warn("pkt_per_line too big");`

With that in place:
