DSI code :

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/msm/-/blob/msm-next/drivers/gpu/drm/msm/dsi/dsi_host.c#L868

DP code:

Refer to dp_panel_dsc_pclk_param_calc in 
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/519837/?series=113240&rev=1

Timing engine:

refer to https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/519838/?series=113240&rev=1

Probably confusion is due to the naming. bytes_per_line is nothing but 
bytes_per_pkt * pkt_per_line but the concept is common for DP and DSI.

+		if (phys->comp_type == MSM_DISPLAY_COMPRESSION_DSC) {
+			phys->dsc_extra_pclk_cycle_cnt = dsc_info->pclk_per_line;
+			phys->dsc_extra_disp_width = dsc_info->extra_width;
+			phys->dce_bytes_per_line =
+				dsc_info->bytes_per_pkt * dsc_info->pkt_per_line;
