/u?dev/cpu/.* -c system_u:object_r:cpu_device_t
The above line in file_contexts/types.fc should cover /dev/cpu/microcode. I
think that the problem you are having is because for some (unknown) reason
those device nodes were mis-labeled. I don't know what might have caused
this, I have not been able to reproduce it.
I suggest just using setfiles to relabel /dev/cpu.
