Notably, GCC 13.2.0 does not do too much of a better job, as it is right
at the current limit of 2048:
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/dml2/display_mode_core.c: In function 'dml_prefetch_check':
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/dml2/display_mode_core.c:6705:1: error: the frame size of 2048 bytes is larger than 1800 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]

In the past, these warnings have been avoided by reducing the number of
parameters to various functions so that not as many arguments need to be
passed on the stack. However, these patches take a good amount of effort
to write despite being mechanical due to code structure and complexity
and they are never carried forward to new generations of the code so
that effort has to be expended every new hardware generation, which
becomes harder to justify as time goes on.
There is some effort to improve clang's code generation but that may
take some time between code review, shifting priorities, and release
cycles. To avoid having a noticeable or lengthy breakage in
all{mod,yes}config, which are easy testing targets that have -Werror
enabled, increase the limit for clang by 50% so that cases of extremely
poor code generation can still be caught while not breaking the majority
of builds. When clang's code generation improves, the limit increase can
be restricted to older clang versions.

If there is another DRM pull before 6.7-rc1, it would be much
appreciated if this could make that so that other trees are not
potentially broken by this. If not, no worries, as it was my fault for
not sending this sooner.

I would prefer checking for `CONFIG_KASAN || CONFIG_KCSAN` instead
since the stack usage shouldn't change much if both of those are disabled.
