AMD DCN 2.0 Display Stream Compression helpers

Internal helper code for the Display Stream Compression (DSC) block inside AMD's DCN 2.0 display hardware, found on Navi-generation Radeon GPUs and APUs. DSC compresses high-bandwidth video signals so that 4K/8K and high-refresh-rate displays can run over DisplayPort and HDMI links.

recommendation

This is not actually a standalone driver directory; it is a subcomponent of the larger amdgpu display stack (DC) that provides DSC support specific to the DCN 2.0 hardware generation. It only exists as part of the broader AMD GPU driver and would never be evaluated for removal on its own.

codex reasoning notes (technical)

Not a driver directory: contains DCN2.0 display-stream-compression helper code inside the AMD display stack, not a standalone kernel-bound hardware driver.
