Intentional? Wrong microcode for queensbay.

Looks the generated u-boot.dtb for crownbay does not seem to contain
the exact data in the crownbay.dts file. See below.

$ fdtdump u-boot.dtb | grep data
            data = <0x00000001 0x38cb12b9 0x00001400 0x00000000
0x00000017 0x00000001 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x09eccda1
0x37c6c23b ...
