Units are the last in the names, hence (also check the comment's
location and English)

/* Wait for up to 0.5 s to acquire the lock */
#define ASUSWMI_LOCK_TIMEOUT_MS                500

Couldn't it be an anonymous union?

Please, use a temporary variable here and in the similar cases.

  acpi_status status;

  status = acpi_acquire_mutex(data->acpi_wmi_mutex, NULL,
ASUSWMI_LOCK_TIMEOUT_MS));
  if (ACPI_FAILURE(status))
