[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 5/6] x86: Correct problems in the microcode loading

There are several problems in the code. The device tree decode is incorrect
in ways that are masked due to a matching bug. Both are fixed. Also
microcode_read_rev() should be inline and called before the microcode is
written.

Note: microcode writing does not work correctly on ivybridge for me. Further
work is needed to resolve this. But this patch tidies up the existing code
so that will be easier.
