    cpu: create an empty file when no microcode files are given
    
    Having an empty microcode file makes it more easy to debug
    in comparison to a not existing file in cbfs. There are some
    platforms (e.g. ep80579) which support microcode updates but
    not having any microcode updates yet in our tree.
    
    These platform hang the build because `cat` is called with no
    parameters.
