Subject: [PATCH v6 7/7] x86/microcode/intel: Enable staging when available
Date: Sun, 21 Sep 2025 15:48:41 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250921224841.3545-8-chang.seok.bae@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250921224841.3545-1-chang.seok.bae@intel.com>

With staging support implemented, enable it when the CPU reports the
feature.
