Why don't you hoist frame_unwind_register_value above?, so the
frame_register_unwind call is no longer needed,

  struct value *value = frame_unwind_register_value (fi, sp_regnum);

  gdb_assert (value != NULL);

  if (!value_optimized_out (value) && value_entirely_available (value))
     {
       if (VALUE_LVAL (value) == not_lval)
         {
            sp = extract_unsigned_integer (value_contents_all (value),
                                          sp_size, byte_order);
         }
       else if (VALUE_LVAL (value) == lval_memory)
         {
            // use value_address (value);
         }
       else if (VALUE_LVAL (value) == lval_register)
         {
            // use VALUE_REGNUM (value);
         }
     }
   /* else keep quiet.  */

   release_value (value);
   value_free (value);
