note the *with-caveats* part.
The releasenote file says:

This directory holds microcode that might need special handling.
BDX-ML microcode is provided in directory, because it need special
commits in
the Linux kernel, otherwise, updating it might result in unexpected system
behavior.
OS vendors must ensure that the late loader patches (provided in
linux-kernel-patches\) are included in the distribution before packaging the
BDX-ML microcode for late-loading.

Good luck!
