I don't think I reviewed this version of the patch.

Please just return early here to avoid unnecessary indentation:

	if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARM64_HW_AFDBM))
		return false;

No need for !!, the return type is a bool already.

Anyway, apart from these nitpicks, the patch is fine you can keep my
reviewed-by.

If later we noticed a potential performance issue on this path, we can
turn it into a static label as with other CPU features.
