Here's my proposal to narrow it down better.

bool amdgpu_acpi_is_s3_active(struct amdgpu_device *adev)
{
        /* dGPUs always go to S3 */
        if (!(adev->flags & AMD_IS_APU))
                return true;
        /* the kernel has found support for S3 and user selected it */
        if (pm_suspend_target_state == PM_SUSPEND_MEM)
                return true;
#ifdef CONFIG_X86
        if (boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_ZEN) && !sched_smt_active()) {
                dev_info_once(adev->dev,
                              "SMT is disabled (possibly by the BIOS).\n"
                              "To use suspend-to-ram enable SMT in BIOS setup.\n");
        }
#endif
        return false;
}
