Is there going to be any way to override this like you can with amdgpu.ids? amdgpu.ids lacked an entry for my 5600G, so it defaulted to generic "Radeon Graphics". I added a "Radeon Vega 7" entry. (I also suggested that libdrm add this, but was told that "Radeon Graphics" was the official marketing name.)
cpuinfo gives "AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with Radeon Graphics", which is more specific than "Radeon Graphics", but that's the CPU name and not the name of the GPU within.

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.
