Changes in v2: None

We are going to end up with microcode both in the device tree and in an assembler include file.

This seems unfortunate. I wonder if we can always put it in the device tree, but then optionally also compile it into the image using a symbol (as we do in dts/Makefile for CONFIG_OF_EMBED). This could be done with fdtget to read the binary output of the property perhaps. I haven't looked at it in detail though.

Maybe this is too clumsy but it would be good to have it in one format. Or maybe we should have a tool which can generate either format.
