[PATCH] x86/microcode: Remove redundant __setup() param parsing

From: Borislav Petkov
Date: Tue Jan 05 2016 - 15:44:51 EST


From: Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxx>

We do parse for the disable microcode loader chicken bit very early.
After the driver merge, the __setup() param parsing method is not needed
anymore so get rid of it.

In addition, fix a compiler warning from an old SLES11 gcc (4.3.4)
reported by Jan Beulich <jbeulich@xxxxxxxx>:

arch/x86/kernel/cpu/microcode/core.c: In function âload_ucode_bspâ:
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/microcode/core.c:96: warning: array subscript is above array bounds
