What makes you think it's associated with the particular "hardware
revision 20"? Have you used multiple revisions on the same platform
and found that only certain ones fail in this way? Otherwise, your
theory in the last part of your sentence sounds like a platform issue,
where you might do a DMI match instead.

Rather than memorize the 128-size array here, maybe use
sizeof(ver_ext->version_str) ?
