I took a quick look at this:

#define CPM_GPU_NOTIFY_COMMAND		0x55
+static void amdgpu_acpi_wbrf_event(acpi_handle handle, u32 event, void *data)
+{
+	struct amdgpu_device *adev = (struct amdgpu_device *)data;
+
+	if (event == CPM_GPU_NOTIFY_COMMAND &&
+	    adev->wbrf_event_handler)
+		adev->wbrf_event_handler(adev);
+}

handle is ignored, All you need is the void * data to link back to
your private data.

I find it interesting that CPM_GPU_NOTIFY_COMMAND is defined here. So
nothing else can use it. Should it maybe be called
CPM_AMDGPU_NOTIFY_COMMAND?

Overall, looking at this, i don't see anything which could not be made
abstract:

static void amdgpu_wbrf_event(u32 event, void *data)
{
       struct amdgpu_device *adev = (struct amdgpu_device *)data;

       if (event == WBRF_GPU_NOTIFY_COMMAND &&
           adev->wbrf_event_handler)
               adev->wbrf_event_handler(adev);
}

int amdgpu_register_wbrf_notify_handler(struct amdgpu_device *adev,
					wbrf_notify_handler handler)
{
	struct device *dev = adev->dev);

	adev->wbrf_event_handler = handler;

	return wbrf_install_notify_handler(dev, amdgpu_wbrf_event, adev);
}
