I'm now restarting from a clean tree for my randconfig patches to see which
ones are actually needed, will hopefully get to that.

(adding amdgpu folks to Cc here)

Harry Wentland did a nice rework for dcn_calcs.c that should also be
portable to dce_calcs.c, I hope that he will be able to get to that as well.

Looking at my older patches now, I found that I had only suppressed that one
and given up fixing it, but I did put my analysis into
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42551, which should be helpful
for addressing it in either the kernel or the compiler.
