Splitting up large functions can help when you have large local variables
that are used in different parts of the function, and the split gets the
compiler to reuse stack locations.

I think in this particular function, the problem isn't actually local variables
but either pushing variables on the stack for argument passing,
or something that causes the compiler to run out of registers so it
has to spill registers to the stack.

In either case, one has to actually look at the generated output
and then try to rearrange the codes so this does not happen.

One thing to try would be to condense a function call like

                dml32_CalculateWatermarksMALLUseAndDRAMSpeedChangeSupport(

&v->dummy_vars.dml32_CalculateWatermarksMALLUseAndDRAMSpeedChangeSupport,
                        mode_lib->vba.USRRetrainingRequiredFinal,
                        mode_lib->vba.UsesMALLForPStateChange,

mode_lib->vba.PrefetchModePerState[mode_lib->vba.VoltageLevel][mode_lib->vba.maxMpcComb],
                        mode_lib->vba.NumberOfActiveSurfaces,
                        mode_lib->vba.MaxLineBufferLines,
                        mode_lib->vba.LineBufferSizeFinal,
                        mode_lib->vba.WritebackInterfaceBufferSize,
                        mode_lib->vba.DCFCLK,
                        mode_lib->vba.ReturnBW,
                        mode_lib->vba.SynchronizeTimingsFinal,

mode_lib->vba.SynchronizeDRRDisplaysForUCLKPStateChangeFinal,
                        mode_lib->vba.DRRDisplay,
                        v->dpte_group_bytes,
                        v->meta_row_height,
                        v->meta_row_height_chroma,

v->dummy_vars.DISPCLKDPPCLKDCFCLKDeepSleepPrefetchParametersWatermarksAndPerformanceCalculation.mmSOCParameters,
                        mode_lib->vba.WritebackChunkSize,
                        mode_lib->vba.SOCCLK,
                        v->DCFCLKDeepSleep,
                        mode_lib->vba.DETBufferSizeY,
                        mode_lib->vba.DETBufferSizeC,
                        mode_lib->vba.SwathHeightY,
                        mode_lib->vba.SwathHeightC,
                        mode_lib->vba.LBBitPerPixel,
                        v->SwathWidthY,
                        v->SwathWidthC,
                        mode_lib->vba.HRatio,
                        mode_lib->vba.HRatioChroma,
                        mode_lib->vba.vtaps,
                        mode_lib->vba.VTAPsChroma,
                        mode_lib->vba.VRatio,
                        mode_lib->vba.VRatioChroma,
                        mode_lib->vba.HTotal,
                        mode_lib->vba.VTotal,
                        mode_lib->vba.VActive,
                        mode_lib->vba.PixelClock,
                        mode_lib->vba.BlendingAndTiming,
                        .... /* more arguments */);

into calling conventions that take a pointer to 'mode_lib->vba' and another
one to 'v', so these are no longer passed on the stack individually.
