As described in the "Milan Release Notes.txt" of the AMD firmware update package amd_sev_fam19h_model0xh_1.33.03.zip.

"If upgrading to 1.33.01 or later from something older (picking up CSF-1201), it is required that two Download Firmware commands be run to fix the "Committed Version" across the firmware. CSF-1201 
fixed a bug where the committed version in the attestation report was incorrect. Performing a single Download Firmware will upgrade the firmware, but performing a second one will correct the committed 
version. This is a one-time upgrade issue.
"

Note that `1.33.01` is not the same version number as "1.51" in [1]. One is the firmware version, the other is the SEV-SNP API version.

I am definitely seeing a wrong TCB version, if the firmware is only updated once to `1.33.01` aka "1.51".
Reloading the `ccp` module, which triggers another firmware load, cures the problem.

The patch might be wrong, as it might not do the right thing, but the problem and the solution exist.

What is your suggestion then to fix the wrong committed TCB version?
