recommendation

This is not actually a standalone driver; it is a helper library inside the AMD Display Core (DC) framework that the amdgpu DRM driver pulls in to implement DSC link encoding. It has no separate lifecycle of its own and lives or dies with the broader amdgpu display stack.

codex reasoning notes (technical)

Not a driver directory: AMD DC Display Stream Compression helper code under the DRM display pipeline, not a standalone kernel-bound hardware driver.
