These microcodes are still from 2016_03_16, Debian already ships some
more recent versions which they got from Suse.

Should we upgrade the linux-firmware package to the most recent version
after these new microcodes are added and do the same for 17.01 and 15.05?

See here for the Debain changelog:

Yes, this was discussed on IRC. My impression was that the linux-firmware 
git repo should be doing better than the distros in the first place, but 
looks like that's not the case, so I'll move to use the amd64-microcode 
from Debian.
