Thanks for picking this up, and for opening the HP case.

The Fury G1i 16 is DMI board "8DE2". Its "UcsiAcpi" SSDT (BIOS X96
01.05.01) matches what you describe for 8ED9: the mailbox is
0x30 bytes with 16-byte MESSAGE_IN/MESSAGE_OUT, _DSM function 0
returns 0x0f (functions 0-3 only), function 2 is a stub, and VERSION
is written only on the EC response path (_Q27 -> UQDC -> UETO, copied
from EC0.UB00/UB01). A PPM_RESET through function 1 completes in
URST(), which sets RESET_COMPLETE directly without going through UETO,
so it does not fill in VERSION either.

I have not run your patch on the Fury yet, so this is based on the
tables only. If an 8DE2 entry next to 8ED9 is wanted, I can test it.

Thanks,
Francesco
