[PATCH v2 3/6] x86/microcode: Display revisions only when update is successful

From: Ashok Raj
Date: Tue Dec 27 2022 - 14:24:11 EST


Right now, microcode loading failures and successes print the same
message "Reloading completed". This is misleading to users.

Display the updated revision number only if an update was successful.
