Changelog

intel-microcode (3.20160607.2) unstable; urgency=low

  * REMOVE microcode:
    sig 0x000406e3, pf mask 0xc0, 2016-04-06, rev 0x008a, size 96256
    (closes: #828819)
  * The Core i7-6500U and m3-6Y30 processors (Skylake-UY D-1,
    sig=0x406e3, pf=0x80) may hang while attempting an early microcode
    update to revision 0x8a, apparently due to some sort of firmware
    dependency.  On affected systems, the only way to avoid the issue is
    to get a firmware update that includes microcode revision 0x8a or
    later.  At this time, there are reports of both sucessful and failed
    updates on the m3-6Y30, and only of failed updates on the i7-6500U.
    There are no reports about Skylake-U K-1 (pf=0x40).
  + WARNING: it is unsafe to use a system based on an Intel Skylake-U/Y
    processor with microcode earlier than revision 0x8a, due to several
    critical errata that cause unpredictable behavior, data corruption,
    and other problems.  Users *must* update their firmware to get
    microcode 0x8a or newer, and keep it up-to-date.
