where can drm_dsc_config be stored?

Form my understanding, a bridge contains two interfaces.

Therefore I would think only one bridge for dsi-to-dp bridge? and this 
bridge should represent the bridge chip?

I am thinking adding an ops function, get_bridge_dsc() to struct 
drm_bridge_funcs to retrieve drm_dsc_config.

Do you have other suggestion?
