[PATCH v2 0/4] Add support for new AMDGPU architectures

This patch series updates binutils to support new AMDGPU architectures, including adding generic targets and updating the list of supported architectures. It also adds support for AMDGPU code object V6 in readelf and includes documentation updates with reference URLs. These changes ensure that binutils can correctly process and analyze binaries targeting the latest AMD GPUs, which is crucial for developers working on GPU-accelerated applications.
