There is a lot of magic numbers in that kzalloc. It is being used as
an array, kcalloc() would be a good start to make it more readable.
Can some #define's be used to explain what the other numbers mean?

Please make use of the BIT macro to give the different bits
informative names.

You WARN, and then overwrite whatever i passed the end of out? Please
at least use min(obj->buffer.length, sizeof(*out)), but better still:

if (obj->buffer.length != sizeof(*out)) {
dev_err(dev, "BIOS FUBAR, ignoring wrong sized WBRT information");
return -EINVAL;
}

I was expecting you would keep these tables, and then call into the
BIOS as well. Having this table in debugfs seems like a useful thing
to have for debugging the BIOS.

Do you actually need these stub versions?
