Before borrowing update_microcode.c for our family15tn, we need to somehow figure out if its even working for that " family_10h-family_15h ". If you go to the root directory with coreboot sources, and issue ' find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 grep "cpu_microcode_bins" ' command, you'll see that cpu

It seems that now the microcode loading for AMD fam15h CPUs, including for A10-5750M fam15h Richland CPU found at coreboot-supported Lenovo G505S, is supposed to be done in two steps: 1) First of all it is initializing with this microcode hardcoded as the hex values - version 0600110F [2012-01-11]
