[PATCH v6 9/9] PCI: Add a new 'boot_display' attribute

[Mario Limonciello <superm1@kernel.org>]

From: Mario Limonciello <mario.limonciello@amd.com>

On systems with multiple GPUs there can be uncertainty which GPU is the
primary one used to drive the display at bootup. In order to disambiguate
this add a new sysfs attribute 'boot_display' that uses the output of
video_is_primary_device() to populate whether a PCI device was used for
driving the display.

v6:
 * Only show for the device that is boot display
 * Only create after PCI device sysfs files are initialized to ensure
   that resources are ready.
v4:
 * new patch
