[make-all]

This is new in HA 2024.12, which isn't even released yet, so it is not appropriate to change at this time.

[felipecrs]

That's totally right, it's not actionable ATM.

[make-all]

None of the documentation related to this change has been updated yet, and it is not announced on the Developer blog, but it looks like in addition to replacing the AREA_SQUARE_METERS constant with an enum expanded to cover other units, there is also a new "area" class available for sensor and number entities in 2024.12.
