[PATCH v2 3/4] readelf: Add support for AMDGPU code object V6
This patch updates readelf to support AMDGPU code object V6, which introduces the EF_AMDGPU_GENERIC_VERSION_V flag. The patch decodes this flag and displays the generic code object version when examining AMDGPU ELF files. This allows developers to inspect binaries compiled for AMD’s GPUs, ensuring compatibility with the latest architecture features.
