I don't have a better idea about this, it looks like it's a h/w issue to me. The GPE17 is triggerred by EC, so I can't figure out a proper fix for this issue.
The feasible workaround would be ignore it by adding below line to the kernel cmdline acpi_mask_gpe=0x17 There is no updated BIOS to address this issue, so I believe there should be a way to negotiate with the BIOS to stop the GPE17 flooding. If you want to better fix the issue, could you contact HP's customer support to see if they can shed some light on this?
