[PATCH v2 5/6] x86/microcode/intel: Print old and new rev during early boot

From: Ashok Raj
Date: Tue Dec 27 2022 - 14:24:39 EST


Make early loading message to match late loading messages. Print
both old and new revisions.

This is helpful to know what the BIOS loaded revision is before an early
update.

New dmesg log is shown below.

microcode: early update: 0x2b000041 -> 0x2b000070 date = 2000-01-01

Cache the early BIOS revision before the microcode update and change the
print_ucode_info() so it prints both the old and new revision in the same
format as microcode_reload_late().
