Which of the changes in the patch corresponds to each testcase?

Wouldn't we expect such a freeze to get dropped by InstSimplify/InstCombine anyway?

You mean, we should rewrite uses of a freeze in blocks where we know the operand of the freeze can't be undef/poison? I guess that's something we should do. I don't think instsimplify has the context necessary to do that sort of rewrite.

You're right, if there are multiple uses and only some are dominated by the condition we currently don't handle it in InstCombine. The @simple case from the test would be handled though, because the freeze gets sunk.

getEdgeValueLocal's change at if (BranchInst *BI ...) { .. } corresponds to the simple example.
For the switch example, if (SwitchInst *SI ...) { ... } branch calls constantFoldUser, which is newly updated.

Would it be the right direction if I implement this optimization in InstCombine instead?

Since D84940 can introduce freezes, this patch can be effective now IMO.

Is this code actually needed? I'm thinking that the constantFoldUser code should already take care of it. The Freeze usesOperand Condition, and should then get folded.

Remove redundant check

The check seemed redundant to me as well, so removed it. The unit tests still work too.
