amdgpu-pro don't work with mainline linux kernel

[davidak]

Describe the bug

[root@gaming:~]# nixos-rebuild switch
building Nix...
building the system configuration...
error: The option `boot.kernelPackages' has conflicting definitions, in `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix' and `/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos/nixos/modules/hardware/video/amdgpu-pro.nix'.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. use linuxPackages_latest and amdgpu-pro together

  # use latest kernel to have best performance
  boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages_latest;
  services.xserver.videoDrivers = [ "amdgpu-pro" ];
  nixpkgs.config.allowUnfree = true;

2. nixos-rebuild switch

Expected behavior
beeing ble to use latest linux kernel and amdgpu-pro together. if it's not pissible, give useful error message and not something that looks like an error in nixos

Additional context
It also don't work with default kernel, but that is unrelated #87984
