[PATCH 3.5 28/90] x86/microcode/amd: Tone down printk(), don't treat a missing firmware file as an error

From: Luis Henriques
Date: Thu Dec 05 2013 - 12:55:06 EST


3.5.7.27 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Thomas Renninger <trenn@xxxxxxx>

commit 11f918d3e2d3861b6931e97b3aa778e4984935aa upstream.

Do it the same way as done in microcode_intel.c: use pr_debug()
for missing firmware files.

There seem to be CPUs out there for which no microcode update
has been submitted to kernel-firmware repo yet resulting in
scary sounding error messages in dmesg:

microcode: failed to load file amd-ucode/microcode_amd_fam16h.bin
