[PATCH] drm/amdgpu: Add sysfs file for VBIOS

The plan is for the vbios version to be available through the ROCM-SMI utility. We have the GPU power usage listed in the debugfs currently. If they are both to be used for a userspace utility, should we be moving both of those to sysfs instead?

Actually the main difference is not root vs. user, but rather unstable
vs stable interface.
If you want a stable interface for an userspace tool you should use
sysfs, if you don't care about that you should use debugfs.
