Does it mean, only 5th, 6th and newer platforms have OEM platform revision?
3rd/4th will get NULL result? Or the opposite?

Correct, from my testing (with limited sample size) and AML code: 5th
and 6th generation devices have a non-zero OEM platform revision,
whereas 3rd and 4th gen. devices do not have any (i.e. result will be
NULL).

+ oem_platform_rev = result->integer.value;
+ ACPI_FREE(result);
+ }
+
+ dev_dbg(&dev->dev, "OEM Platform Revision %llu\n", oem_platform_rev);
+
+ return oem_platform_rev == 0 ? 0 : -ENODEV;
if 3rd/4th do not have this oem rev information while 5th/newer have,
why the latter returns NODEV(it actually has this info)?

Since we always expect a non-zero platform revision (for 5th/6th gen.),
we can initialize it to zero and use that as "unknown"/"not available".
So if it can not be determined, we return NODEV.

Sorry, small mistake here: If it can be determined (i.e. is 5th or 6th
gen.) then we return NODEV. Not the other way around.

Also to clarify on your last question:

ditto, 3rd/4th get error=0?

You are correct.
