Thanks.

I know what you meant. Did you see the diff I sent you?

It has the fix already:

@@ -410,13 +421,19 @@ void __init load_ucode_intel_bsp(struct early_load_data *ed)

        struct ucode_cpu_info uci;

        uci.mc = get_microcode_blob(&uci, false);

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The assignment is now inside the UCODE_UPDATED conditional.
