[PATCH 1/2] x86/microcode/amd: Extract current patch level read to a function

From: Borislav Petkov
Date: Wed Jul 01 2015 - 16:14:55 EST


From: Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxx>

Pave the way for checking the current patch level of the microcode in a
core. We want to be able to do stuff depending on the patch level - in
this case decide whether to update or not. But that will be added in a
later patch; here we do not introduce any functionality change.

Drop unused local var uci assignment, while at it.
