FWIW the following patch seems to be required to make it work on DPU
4.0.

https://patch.msgid.link/20261002-encoder-flush-old-ctl-v1-1-2a2f29e9b...@oss.qualcomm.com

I'm not 100% happy about this patch, I can foresee having issues with
the different DSC topologies, but I guess it might be easier to try
figuring them out (maybe together with rewiring / rewriting the resource
allocator). We need to find a way to try different combinations and roll
back to the smaller configuration if the other output needs more
resources.

I'll test this version, and if it passes, I will maybe try landing it...
