Can't tell if it's Z specific because I haven't looked at DSDT tables for other models. It's not specific to the wwan module.
It's just a change in the dsdt table, in older versions there were 2 methods you can use to detect the presence of the wlan, wwan, wmax and bluetooth devices and the one that the sony-laptop module uses was removed.
The other one is still there and my patch changes the module to use it.

There is some code in the module to detect the presence of a specific ACPI call but in this case it's the same call with different argument so I don't know if we can do something to autodetect it.
