The value in dsi code is valid for initial_offset = 6144. Please use
the formula from the standard (= sde_dsc_populate_dsc_config) and add
it to drm_dsc_helper.c

If I remember correctly the last remaining item in
dsi_populate_dsc_params() (except mentioned initial_offset) was
line_buf_depth, see [3]. I'm not sure about setting it to bpc+1.
According to the standard it should come from a DSC decoder spec,
which means it should be set by the DSI panel driver or via
drm_dp_dsc_sink_line_buf_depth() in the case of DP output.

dsc_extra_pclk_cycle_cnt and dce_bytes_per_line are used only in DPU
code, so they can stay in DPU driver.
