[PATCH 2/5] drm/msm/dpu: don't count the cloned writeback as an interface

From: Dmitry Baryshkov

Date: Fri Oct 02 2026 - 20:03:47 EST


In the clone mode dpu_encoder_update_topology() is called both for the
real-time and for the writeback encoder, so topology.num_intf also
counts the writeback. However the cloned writeback has no datapath of
its own, it taps the mixers of the real-time encoder. Each user of
num_intf has to compensate for that, and not all of them get it right:

- dpu_crtc_get_topology() skips the "two interfaces use two mixers"
rule if CWB is enabled, so a dual-DSI display in the clone mode gets
a single mixer for its two interfaces if the mode is narrow enough;

- _dpu_rm_reserve_dsc() compares num_dsc to num_intf to detect the DSC
merge, so it doesn't allocate a DSC pair for a single DSI interface
using two DSC blocks while being cloned.

Count only the real-time interfaces if the CRTC is in the clone mode.
The standalone writeback is still counted as an interface.
