We could still not enable DSC after this point since it has more checks in this
function. Even though in that case we would fail the encoder config so wouldnt
matter if we have enabled FEC or not, but its less intutive.
IMHO, the ideal place to set the fec enable is in intel_dp_compute_link_config()
after the all to dsc_compute_config and set it only if pipe_config->dsc_params.compression_enable
