I don't think microcode_dev_init() is a NULL function since it depends
on CONFIG_MICROCODE_OLD_INTERFACE and we have it on by default:

config MICROCODE_OLD_INTERFACE
def_bool y
depends on MICROCODE

which makes me wonder whether we still need that OLD INTERFACE.
Henrique, any thoughts here?

But you're right, reordering the registration could simplify the code.
I'll take a look at it tomorrow.

Thanks.
