Does it work when you disable CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD in there?
I can test this when I'm home since I need to change the config a bit.

I got to test an kernel without CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD and this way does work.


While that worked I read the code not sure I get this right but:

scan_microcode() has :

...
      if (!size) {
        if (!load_builtin_intel_microcode(&cd))
            return UCODE_ERROR;
    } else {
        cd = find_cpio_data(p, (void *)start, size, &offset);
        if (!cd.data)
            return UCODE_ERROR;
    }

...

So when I get this correctly load_builtin_intel_microcode() only works on !initrd ?

Should this check not be the other way around ?

something like :

      cd = find_cpio_data(p, (void *)start, size, &offset);
      if (!cd.data) {
           if (!load_builtin_intel_microcode(&cd))
                 return UCODE_ERROR;
      }
