Yes, and after the kernel change you'll have an additional
  
  Force DSC enable: yes/no

line here.

I'm not sure what you mean. Currently "1" or "0" is written to the
debugfs file which will set intel_dp->force_dsc_enable. This doesn't
need to be changed at all, no need to rewrite the whole file.

You can get the original value of it similarly to how it's done already
for 'DSC_Sink_Support', by reading the file and doing

	strstr(buf, "Force DSC enable: yes");

on the content.

Only force_dsc_enable need to be restored, the only value that you
change by writing to the debugfs file. All the rest are calculated
values that you don't need to care about.
