Bug#1043437: linux: report microcode upgrade *from* version as well
Package: src:linux
Version: 5.10.179-3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream
X-Debbugs-Cc: tg@mirbsd.de
I have this in dmesg:
[ 0.000000] microcode: microcode updated early to revision 0xa4, date = 2010-10-02
It would be very nice if this message also showed the revision *from*
which it was upgraded, so that info is available without going through
extra hoops to boot without µcode upgrade.
