Hi,
would you mind backporting that patch to stables (at least 5.10
and 6.1 are relevant for Debian)?
Thanks in advance!

This is fixed upstream in a9a5cac225b0 ("x86/microcode/intel: Print
old and new revision during early boot") in 6.3-rc1, but not sure it
will have changes to get backported to stable series upstream.
Would you mind trying to get that applied in the needed stable series?
