I think now that we have added the technical reason of why it is better 
to use
2-2-1 ( using 2 LMs is better than one as it will half layer width), we 
can drop my name from the commit text
as it holds less value than the actual reason itself :)
You can still keep my signed-off and co-developed by tag

if dsc is moved to the encoder, this will need to be changed too
