I've added those changes, thanks for the feedback.

** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  libdrm has an interface that is used by a variety of software (such as GNOME 
about dialog, nvtop, rocminfo etc) to describe the GPU connected to the system.
  
  libdrm by default will try to match an AMD GPU to lines in amdgpu.ids.
  If there is no match it will fall back to "Radeon Graphics".
  
  This is a constant game of cat and mouse because every single SKU of a
  new product needs a line added.
  
  On APUs this is unnecessary though.  The string that comes from
  /proc/cpuinfo describing the model comes from the hardware itself.
  
  A change has been made in upstream libdrm that will prefer this string
  when working on an APU instead of the amdgpu.ids file.
  
  [Where problems could occur]
  The strings identified by the hardware include more words (like Ryzen or 
Ryzen AI max), which wasn't in the original string.  If there is any software 
that assumes a short string this could be problematic.
  
  [Test Plan]
  * Verify dGPU string in amdgpu.ids shows up properly in GNOME / Settings / 
About
  * Verify on an APU string matches /proc/cpuinfo and GNOME / Settings / About.
