Bug Description

fwts reports a failure when kernel does not have a microcode update such as "microcode: The kernel did not report that CPU 0 has had a microcode update. The current firmware is revision 0x28 and probably has not been updated".

However, BIOS includes microcode for new products, and this is not firmware bug. This may need to be changed to information instead of failure.
