[Bug 1780399] Re: Update microcode to 20180703 version

[Hans Joachim Desserud]

Thanks for reporting.

>The new version is already available in Debian.

Normally this would be automatically synced to the current development
version, Ubuntu Cosmic. However, the most recent package version there
contains an additional Ubuntu patch, so if those changes are still
needed, someone needs to manually merge the latest version from Debian.
