After reboot:

New Microcode patches:

Tested with initramfs-tools 147 : same behavior. processor microcode is
not updated
As I have seen late loading is supposed to be safe on AMD system, I
recompiled kernel with late loading option and tried to load via
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/microcode/reload
microcode: Late microcode loading without minimal revision check.
[ 62.792507] microcode: You should switch to early loading, if possible.
[ 62.793117] microcode: load: updated on 16 primary CPUs with 0 siblings
[ 62.793119] microcode: revision: 0xa601206 -> 0xa601209
So the firmware code itself is good but the logic for early loading is
broken.
