commit 6f3d77f45a09d587391330f92ddd930c5e027d02

Intel: Return and warn when NULL is passed to `intel_update_microcode`

Not selecting `CPU_MICROCODE_IN_CBFS` in Kconfig and calling the
    function `intel_update_microcode` with NULL results in a crash due
    to the null pointer being dereferenced later on.

for(c = microcode_updates; m->hdrver; m = (const struct microcode *)c) {

Fix this by just returning if `microcode_updates` is `NULL` and by
    printing a warning.

This patch is successfully tested on the Lenovo X201.
