drm/panthor: add sysfs knob for enabling job profiling

This commit introduces a DRM device sysfs attribute that lets UM control
the job accounting status in the device. The knob variable had been brought
in as part of a previous commit, but now we're able to fix it manually.

As sysfs files are part of a driver's uAPI, describe its legitimate input
values and output format in a documentation file.

+Panthor DRM client usage stats implementation
+==============================================
+
+The drm/Panthor driver implements the DRM client usage stats specification as
+documented in :ref:`drm-client-usage-stats`.
+
+Example of the output showing the implemented key value pairs and entirety of
+the currently possible format options:
+
+::
+     pos:    0
+     flags:  02400002
+     mnt_id: 29
+     ino:    491
+     drm-driver:     panthor
+     drm-client-id:  10
+     drm-engine-panthor:     111110952750 ns
+     drm-cycles-panthor:     94439687187
+     drm-maxfreq-panthor:    1000000000 Hz
+     drm-curfreq-panthor:    1000000000 Hz
+     drm-total-memory:       16480 KiB
+     drm-shared-memory:      0
+     drm-active-memory:      16200 KiB
+     drm-resident-memory:    16480 KiB
+     drm-purgeable-memory:   0
+
+Possible `drm-engine-` key names are: `panthor`.
+`drm-curfreq-` values convey the current operating frequency for that engine.
+
+Users must bear in mind that engine and cycle sampling are disabled by default,
+because of power saving concerns. `fdinfo` users and benchmark applications which
+query the fdinfo file must make sure to toggle the job profiling status of the
+driver by writing into the appropriate sysfs node::
+
+    echo <N> > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/panthor/[a-f0-9]*.gpu/profiling
+
+Where `N` is a bit mask where cycle and timestamp sampling are respectively
+enabled by the first and second bits.
