As far as I'm aware AMD has not directly released any public microcode
fixes to address spectre (AMD is not vulnerable to meltdown).  They've
apparently given something to motherboard manufacturers, who may or may not
be putting microcode updates into firmware updates.

I think I already commented recently that I'm not particularly happy with
AMD's level of documentation around their microcode, or the way they
release updates.

As far as I'm aware linux-firmware hasn't received any spectre-related AMD
microcode updates.  There may be important non-spectre-related updates in
there, however.  I couldn't tell you for sure because I can't find any
clear documentation as to what the AMD microcode updates in linux-firmware
actually do.
