Right. Isn't that issue there even today that if a panel supports DSC in 
only one of the modes, we have no way to tell that as we have not 
encountered such a panel in upstream yet.

Also, fundamental question to folks who had panels requiring 
slice_per_pkt as 2,

if you had some panels which need a slice_per_pkt as 2, this support 
could have been added even earlier by someone who had these panels even 
in DSC 1.1.

If these panels are not yet upstreamed, may i please know why this is 
considered as a "breakage"? If they were working "somehow" due to 
incorrect math / panel settings /  DPU calculations, unfortunately we 
have to work towards bringing up these panels properly and upstreaming 
them rather than saying "oh, these panels were working somehow and now 
we need to keep it working".
