You showed the deletion of local variable. You added a static variable, 
but also use local variable within function. The only place where this 
static variable gets assigned is by a pointer in 
calculate_mc_private_ram_params(). I don't see the need to declare it as 
a global variable.

Actually your change is more confusing. Let us try another way, for 
example not changing the name, shall we?
