There is another intel ucode generator in Archlinux repo, it seems the
code is more elegant and don't require additional dependency. Do you
have any idea?

Hi,
This series will add support for microcode update on x86 targets,
in light of the recent security issues.
While other distributions use an early initramfs approach to update
the microcode as early as possible, in OpenWrt the earliest place
where we can do this is preinit.
The Intel
Compiling the Intel microcode package results in a
microcode.bin and a microcode-64.bin. As we can
decide based on the subtarget which should be used,
we'll only split the required .bin file with
iucode-tool.
Instead of using the large microcode.bin/microcode-64.bin, the
splitted ucode files
Enable for 4.9 and 4.14.

Add tool to "compile" Intel microcode files. The tool will be
compiled for host (to split the microcode.dat) and for target
(to forcibly reload the microcode or scan the system if required).

interesting device, especially for the VBUS "solution", so I decided to
