The modalias in 470 is not compatible to 460

[jeremyszu]

There are many modalias be removed from 470 those supporting in 460.
If 470 is a LTS version and 460 will be transited to 470 then the driver installing will have different behavior between both version.

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

As per our discussion, this is fixed in LP: #1939673

[Yao Wei (medicalwei)]

I would like to propose fix to nvidia_supported script that parses README.txt.

On the line with RTX A5000, there are 2 spaces after the PCI IDs. Current nvidia_supported script assumes there are at least 3 spaces before VDPAU features column, which is not the case in this line.

My proposal of parsing this list is to use offset to get the column of Device PCI ID, and get 1-3 hex strings after the offset.
