Subject: [PATCH 1/2] x86, microcode: Fix sysfs warning during module unload on unsupported CPUs
Loading microcode driver on an unsupported CPU and subsequently
unloading the driver causes
WARNING: at fs/sysfs/group.c:138 mc_device_remove+0x5f/0x70 [microcode]()
Hardware name: 01972NG

on recent kernels.
This is due to
commit 8a25a2fd126c621f44f3aeaef80d51f00fc11639
(cpu: convert 'cpu' and 'machinecheck' sysdev_class to a regular
subsystem)
which renders
commit 6c53cbfced048c421e4f72cb2183465f68fbc5e7
(x86, microcode: Correct sysdev_add error path)
useless.
See http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=133416246406478
Avoid above warning by restoring the old driver behaviour before
commit 6c53cbfced048c421e4f72cb2183465f68fbc5e7 (x86, microcode:
