Sorry I didnt follow.

The topology which you are supporting today IS DSC merge 2-2-1. I didnt
get what you mean by "whenever we introduce".

I didnt follow Dmitry's comment either.

"anybody adding support for SDE_RM_TOPOLOGY_DUALPIPE_3DMERGE_DSC handle
this."

3D mux shouldnt be used when DSC merge is used.

The topology Dmitry is referring to will not use DSC merge but you are
using it here and thats why you had to make this patch in the first
place. So I am not sure why would someone who uses 3D merge topology
worry about DSC merge. Your patch is the one which deals with the
topology in question.

What I am suggesting is a small but necessary improvement to this patch.

All that you have to do is in query whether DSC merge is used from the
topology. You can do it in multiple ways:

1) Either query this from the encoder
2) Store a bool "dsc_merge" in the intf_cfg
