only with microcode utility. The microcode driver does not load it
through firmware helper.

It is by no means a problem. It's just there is this driver, which
tries to load its firmware, does not find it and complains about it in
logs... Just an annoying message in logs, that's all:

main: error loading '/lib/firmware/intel-ucode/06-09-05' for device \
'/devices/platform/microcode/firmware/microcode' with driver \
'(unknown'

If it does not work, than maybe just remove it? They driver, or maybe
the warning.
