Add SLES 16.0 support and extend SLES 15 SP7 driver versions

[Priyankasaggu11929]

Motivation

Follow up to #365 to extend SLES 16.0 support, and some controller validation improvements.

Technical Details

The PR is making the folllowing changes:

• extend SLES support to include SLES 16.0 OS (along with the existing SLES 15 SP7)

  • new prebuilt driver versions for both codestreams:
    • SLES 16.0 31.10, 31.20, 31.30
    • SLES 15 SP7 - 30.20.1, 30.30.3, 31.10, 31.20, 31.30
  • refactor the driver image lookup into the shared internal/utils package
    (so, both KMM module builder and the spec validator use the same meta)

• add reconcile-time validation to reject unsupported driver versions for SLES nodes with a clear status condition on the DeviceConfig object

  > kubectl get deviceconfig mi355x-driver-test -n kube-amd-gpu -o jsonpath='{.status}'| jq .
  {
    "conditions": [
      {
        "lastTransitionTime": "2026-05-29T13:11:09Z",
        "message": "Validation failed: [driver version validation failed for node 144.xx.xx.xx.xx: driver version \"31.50\" is not supported for SLES 16.0; supported versions: 31.10, 31.20, 31.30]",
        "reason": "ValidationError",
        "status": "True",
        "type": "Error"
      },
      {
        "lastTransitionTime": "2026-05-29T13:11:09Z",
        "message": "",
        "reason": "OperatorReady",
        "status": "False",
        "type": "Ready"
      }
    ]
  }
  

• also add a new NoMatchingNodes condition in the DeviceConfig status, to surface error when no cluster nodes match the node selector defined in the DeviceConfig manifest.

  This condition will clear when node selector condition is satisfied.

  In my local testing, when NFD labels (for allowing GPU device ID) are absent on the node, the DeviceConfig admission happens silently with no error/feedback in the DeviceConfig status. but the operator loops indefinitely with reconciler errors in logs (and these errors are easy to go unnoticed).

  > kubectl get deviceconfig mi355x-driver-test -n kube-amd-gpu -o jsonpath='{.status}'| jq .
  {
    "conditions": [
      {
        "lastTransitionTime": "2026-05-29T13:44:42Z",
        "message": "",
        "reason": "OperatorReady",
        "status": "False",
        "type": "Ready"
      },
      {
        "lastTransitionTime": "2026-05-29T13:44:42Z",
        "message": "no nodes found matching selector feature.node.kubernetes.io/amd-gpu=true; verify node labels or check that NFD has labeled the GPU nodes",
        "reason": "NoMatchingNodes",
        "status": "True",
        "type": "Error"
      }
    ],
    ...
  

Test Plan

Please note, these changes are validated on a MI355X system with SLES 16.0 (provided by AMD) across all amdgpu driver versions included in the PR.

Test Result

Added unit tests for

• SLESDefaultDriverVersionsMapper (covering SP7 and 16.0 OS image parsing)
• ValidateSLESDriverVersion (to cover valid/invalid driver versions for both codestreams and non-SLES passthrough)
• resolveDockerfile (covering SLES 16.0 prebuilt image tag resolution in both default and custom registry scenarios)

truncated output of make unit-test
