I've found that AMDI0020 is already reserved and also in use for a while.
f5eda99ee6c0c ("ACPI / APD: Add device HID for future AMD UART controller")

Even if patches 1-9 all work with a patched BIOS to advertise AMDI0020 instead
of AMDI0019, besides squashing patch 8 and 9 will need to discuss what ID to
use.

For this reason, I would suggest that if 1-8 work and there is agreement on them
then merge 1-8 and patch 9 can be a later follow up if/after that discussion and
alignment with stakeholders.
