Apologies for the late reply, I wanted to double-check this but now
ended up basing my

We always set these in our panel drivers (all the way from back when our
initial panel driver changes were based on what Vinod did for Pixel 3),
both to 1.  As expected this results in 0x11 in the first byte of the
Pixel Parameter Set sent to the DrIC over DSI.

Didn't have any effect and this is not what downstream sets/sends
regardless, all our panels (on these sm8[12]50 SoCs) are hardcoded to
DSC 1.1 downstream.

Should I test this again, but also setting the version in the
compression_mode command?
