[Lvfs-announce] Microcode checks on UEFI firmware

Hi all,

The LVFS now checks processor microcode versions for uploaded
firmware. We only compare the versions with other firmware _of the
same vendor_ in testing or stable. If the microcode has been
downgraded then the new test will fail, although the failure can be
waived by a QA user as I appreciate that *sometimes* it's not an
accident, and the downgrade is the right thing to do. Of ~450 firmware
files scanned just 9 issues were found, and all were older versions
than the most current. This message is more a FYI for the future :)

There are some more details and a screenshot here:

happy to answer questions offlist.

Richard.
