Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] drm/amdgpu: add UMA carveout tuning interfaces

The integrated info v2.3 table in the Atom ROM exposes available
options for the VRAM carveout sizes. The carveout size can be changed
using the ATCS function code 0xA for BIOS that supports this.

Make these features available as sysfs files, so that users can set
the carveout size in a way similar to what a Windows user can do in
the "Tuning" tab in the AMD Adrenalin. The newly added sysfs files
are:

- uma_carveout_options: this a read-only file listing all available
  carveout options. They are fetched from the Atom ROM on driver
  initialization.

- uma_carveout: this shows the index of the currently selected option,
  as shown in the uma_carveout_options. Writing a valid option index
  to this file will change the carveout option on next boot.

Note that above files are created only if BIOS indicates support for
it, i.e. where the table shows non-zero UMACarveoutIndexMax.

Changes in v2:
- Move VBIOS table parsing and sysfs interface creation from atomfirmware
  initialization code to amdgpu_acpi_init()
- Create structs that abstract the uma options
- Move the parsed carveout options from atom_context to the amdgpu_atcs
- Minor kdoc fixes, as well as adding example output for uma_carveout_options
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251103-vram-carveout-tuning-for-upstream-v1-0-17e2a72639c5@amd.com
