In this revision, @version is present when the Firmware supports it, and
its not the empty string.

The previous revision had

       ret->version = g_strndup(header.FirmwareVersion,
                                sizeof(header.FirmwareVersion));

Present when the Firmware supports it.

I'm not sure we care for the difference.

Observation, not a demand for antthing.
