devcpu-data is a bunch of microcode files and a parser for the intel
legacy microcode.dat file.  Do you mean cpucontrol in the base system
has a bug?  I found reference to this in the code at the github download
link pointing at a patchless comment-type bugzilla entry here:

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D192487


Do you feel like trying to come up with a patchset or modification to
the existing usr.sbin/cpucontrol (which appears to be the basis of the
code in this github repository)?  We could start using the Phabricator
review system to try and get your work into a form that would be
accepted into the base system.
