Looking at this handling, it seems much easier to me to simply use a
numeric value instead of a string: You don't have to build it via
sprintf, there are generic functions for parsing a string input into a
simple number, and you have more options for compatibility (e.g.
"version must be between m and n" instead of an exact match).

If you still need to encode the device id here, you should be able to
easily do something like (device_id << 16) | migration_version -- do
you think that could work?

I think the meaning of the error codes should really be standardized
across vendor drivers, if we need a value for "this device does not
support migration at all". (Your choices look reasonable for that.)

...but this looks inconsistent. I would expect -ENODEV here, same as
for non-gen{8,9}.

Or simply do not create the attribute at all in that case?
