This name is confusing. I initially thought it was a typo of "from". I
think it'd be better to call it nir_to_lcssa.c (like nir_to_ssa.c).

Extra newline at the end of this comment, which is itself kind of
tangential to what this code is doing...

I don't think the braces are needed here.

Please put braces around nested control flow.
