So until here you use acpi_dsm methods (1), which matches
with patch 1/9 which says that both producers and consumers
use a _DSM for WBRF.

1) With the exception of the weird acpi_amd_wbrf_supported_system()
helper.

But now all of a sudden you start calling a WBRF method
directly instead of calling a _DSM by GUID, which seems
to be intended for consumers.

This contradicts with the documentation which says that
consumers also use the _DSM.

And this looks a lot like acpi_evaluate_dsm and
... (continued below)

This looks exactly like acpi_check_dsm().

So I would expect this to just use acpi_check_dsm like
is done for the producers.

And I would expect this to use acpi_evaluate_dsm(), or
preferably if possible acpi_evaluate_dsm_typed().

Is there any reason why the code is directly calling
a method called WBRF here instead of going through
the _DSM method ?

And if there is such a reason then please update
the documentation to say so, instead of having
the docs clam that consumers also use the _DSM method.
