Re: [PATCH v2 2/3] MdeModulePkg/SerialDxe: Fix return valued in SerialSetAttributes

["Zeng, Star" <star.zeng@intel.com>]

Could you also update the description for EFI_SERIAL_SET_ATTRIBUTES in MdePkg/Include/Protocol/SerialIo.h? That could be done in a separated patch.

+  @retval EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER One or more attributes has an unsupported value.

Thanks,
Star

Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] MdeModulePkg/SerialDxe: Fix return valued in SerialSetAttributes

SerialSetAttributes is meant to match the behavior of the function
EFI_SERIAL_IO_PROTOCOL.SetAttributes() in the UEFI spec (v2.7). This means the function can only return:
    - EFI_SUCCESS
    - EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER
    - EFI_DEVICE_ERROR

However the function SerialPortSetAttributes may also validly return EFI_UNSUPPORTED. For instance this is the case of the Xen Console driver.

EFI_UNSUPPORTED could be also interpreted as "One or more of the attributes has an unsupported value". So return EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER in that case.

Lastly, to prevent another return slipping in the future, all the errors but EFI_INVALID_PARAMETERR and EFI_UNSUPPORTED will return EFI_DEVICE_ERROR.
