Patchset:
I made https://review.coreboot. […]
µcode updates for Haswell come from the `3rdparty/intel-microcode` submodule, whereas µcode updates for Broadwell come from a blob in the `3rdparty/blobs` submodule. The latter has not been updated in a very long time, I wonder if we should make Broadwell use `3rdparty/intel-microcode` as well.
When I added Broadwell's µcode updates to Haswell's CPU code in CB:46942 I didn't disable Haswell's existing µcode updates. Currently, 6 µcode updates are added into coreboot for a Broadwell board: the first 2 come from `3rdparty/intel-microcode` and the last 4 come from the blob in `3rdparty/blobs`.

The 3rd entry is useless, as the 2nd entry is a newer revision of the µcode update for Haswell ULT CPUs. The last 4 entries are at least 7 years old, and I'm pretty sure the intel-microcode repo has newer updates.
