The VCN firmware loading path enables the indirect SRAM mode if it's advertised as supported. We might have some cases of FW issues that prevents this mode to working properly though, ending-up in a failed probe. An example below, observed in the Steam Deck:
[...] [drm] failed to load ucode VCN0_RAM(0x3A) [drm] psp gfx command LOAD_IP_FW(0x6) failed and response status is (0xFFFF0000) amdgpu 0000:04:00.0: [drm:amdgpu_ring_test_helper [amdgpu]] *ERROR* ring vcn_dec_0 test failed (-110) [drm:amdgpu_device_init.cold [amdgpu]] *ERROR* hw_init of IP block <vcn_v3_0> failed -110 amdgpu 0000:04:00.0: amdgpu: amdgpu_device_ip_init failed amdgpu 0000:04:00.0: amdgpu: Fatal error during GPU init [...]
Disabling the VCN block circumvents this, but it's a very invasive workaround that turns off the entire feature. So, let's add a quirk on VCN loading that checks for known problematic BIOSes on Vangogh, so we can proactively disable the indirect SRAM mode and allow the HW proper probe and VCN IP block to work fine.

Hi folks, based on the feedback from the gitlab issue, here is the upstream attempt to quirk the Steam Deck's BIOSes having known issues with the indirect SRAM mode. I've tested it on both the quirked BIOSes, and also with some working ones. This patch is based on agd5f/amd-staging-drm-next.
Thanks in advance for reviews! Cheers,
Guilherme
