Are you expecting this to be in /?

Researching about how people usual host those I found two more common use cases:

For microcode files loaded as initrd (e.g: intel-ucode.img) people
host those in /boot.

For microcode files loaded at runtime system people host those in
/lib/firmware/microcode/

What use case would be similar?

Another thing worth adding is to include a check of QE_UCODE is set.
Similar to UBOOT_MACHINE check done at uboot-config.bbclass.
