I was hoping to get the actual IP versions for the IPs from IP
discovery rather than the versions from the ip_block array.  The
latter are common so you can end up with the same version used across
a wide variety of chips (e.g., all gfx10.x based chips use the same
gfx 10 IP code even if the actual IP version is different for most of
the chips).

It's probably not a high priority, I was just thinking it might be
useful to have in case there ended up being some problem related to
the IP discovery table on some boards.  E.g., we'd know that all
boards with a certain harvest config seem to align with a reported
problem.  Similar for vbios.  It's more for telemetry.  E.g., all the
boards reporting some problem have a particular powerplay config or
whatever.
