Yep, I was wrong, the original name POWER_DOMAIN_VDSC_EDP_MIPI is ok.

Up to GEN11 pipe B,C use their associated pipe compression
engines/joiner if routed to transcoder B,C but they use the separate
compression engine (w/o a joiner) if routed to the eDP/MIPI transcoder.

One unclear thing is that the BSpec DSS_CTL1/2 register descriptions
(used for the eDP/MIPI DSC) show that they are backed by PG1, not PG2 as
implied elsewhere in the spec and in this patch.

Art, is that incorrect, or the registers are backed by a different power
well (PG1) than the functionality itself (PG2)?
