Minor point, but if we're going to eventually come up with a generic way
of doing this, then we're going to have to think about backwards
compatibility for this sysfs file. I would expect in this new world '0'
would mean "default behaviour; off unless the new-fangled thing enables
profiling" and '1' means "force on".
In which case perhaps wording like the below would be clearer:
0: Don't enable fdinfo job profiling sources.
1: Enable fdinfo job profiling sources, this enables both the GPU's
timestamp and cycle counter registers.
Or am I being too picky over the wording ;)

Yuck! ;) That's likely to catch people out if they modify the struct in
the header file.
Why not "struct kobj_profiling" rather than that inline struct. I'd also
argue that kobj_profiling isn't a great name and I'd suggest something
with 'panfrost' in the name. Or you could just use the parent struct
panfrost_device and not bother naming this sub-struct, e.g.
&container_of(kobj, struct panfrost_device,
profiling.base)->profiling.profile_mode;
