Correct, because on gen 11 eDP/DSI have a DSC engine in front of the
transcoder.

The simplest is really the code as it is... but it's not clear, and
would deserve a comment. But I very much prefer self-documenting code
over comments explaining surprising code. So I'd like to spell out the
eDP/DSI transcoders here.
