Yes, I agree with this part. for rc_model_size we can use 
DSC_RC_MODEL_SIZE_CONST.

initial_offset is already handled in 
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/525424/?series=114472&rev=2

Then we can use this math:

rc_model_size / (rc_model_size -
initial_offset), keeping in mind that initial_scale_value has three 
fractional bits.

So this would be 8192 / (8192 - 6144) = 4

Then << 3 for 3 fractional bits = 32.
