Okay so we have discussed this w/ Bjorn and Abhinav and here are the
conclusions and recommendations for binding

1. the properties are generic and not msm specific
2. The host supports multiple formats but the one we choose depends
mostly upon panel. Notably host runs the config which the panel supports.

So the recommendations is to add a table of dsc properties in the panel
driver. No DT binding here.

I should also note that for DP we should be able to calculate these
values from EDID like the i915 driver seems to do

With this I will drop the binding patch and move dsc properties to panel
driver

Thanks
