Since both of you agree that it is useless I'll drop this in V2.  Have
to confess that I know nothing about the writeback interface and haven't
even read the code; does it run in parallel to a "physical" (e.g.
DP/DSI) interface to capture screenshots (or even video) of what is
currently being shown on the screen?  By that logic the WB may have
needed to know what is going on in the HW, but it wouldn't have made any
sense regardless if the presented planes first pass through DSC before
being captured.  Something for me to read up on :)
