[PATCH v2 3/7] gpu: nova-core: vbios: add conversion to u8 for BiosImageType

From: Alexandre Courbot
Date: Mon Oct 27 2025 - 09:03:43 EST


Since `BiosImageType` is `repr(u8)`, if can safely be converted into a
`u8` but this is not obvious when doing this in the code.

Instead, implement `From<BiosImageType>` for `u8` so the cast can be
done in a single place, with a justifying comment.
