If true it seems like it come in the form of updates from the motherboard vendor so one must still wait for them to provide such an update.

Notice the title there on Phoronix where it's AMD "allows" you to. Don't forget that it's still proprietary, user-subjugating software regardless. So "allows" seems very appropriate here because it's like "the higher-level master (AMD) is now allowing the second-level master (the motherboard vendor) to allow their lowly subject to turn off something." But: Both masters must be in agreement for this to happen, or it won't.

If it does you can say: Oh thank you, dual level of masters, for allowing me a choice.

Freedom means not having a master. The better answer seems to be to forget all the shenanigans that the dual-layers of masters are up to and move to libreboot so that your computer will obey you, not someone else. Where you are the master that decides what the computer does (or doesn't do) and are not the subject of a master that decides for you.
