Here's a good example of a function which should be taken out and shot:

int amdgpu_atombios_get_leakage_vddc_based_on_leakage_params(struct amdgpu_devic
e *adev,
...
        switch (frev) {
        case 2:
                switch (crev) {
...
                        if (profile->ucElbVDDC_Num > 0) {
                                for (i = 0; i < profile->ucElbVDDC_Num; i++) {
                                        if (vddc_id_buf[i] == virtual_voltage_id) {
                                                for (j = 0; j < profile->ucLeakageBinNum; j++) {
                                                        if (vbios_voltage_id <= leakage_bin[j]) {
                                                                *vddc = vddc_buf[j * profile->ucElbVDDC_Num + i];

I mean, I get it that AMD want to show off just how studly a monitor they
support, but good grief ...
