Re: [edk2-devel] [PATCH v2 2/4] DynamicTablesPkg: Add SMBIOS table dispatcher

["Girish Mahadevan via groups.io" <gmahadevan=nvidia.com@groups.io>]

Hi Sami

Your patches worked. There was just one thing I had to add to get 
compile to work. (inline with [GM]), other than that I think you can get 
this in.

We've implemented about 18 table generators. (Types  0, 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 
11, 13, 14, 16, 17, 19, 32, 38, 39, 41, 43, 45)
Two more are under way (Type 4.7).

I've setup a github repo here
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/compare/master...gmahadevan:edk2-upstream:RFC/smbios-dyntables-v2?expand=1

I could send you one massive patch train (22 patches or so) or split it 
up into smaller chunks perhaps just the table generation stuff first and 
then each generator library.

Let me know.

Best Regards
Girish

Not sure if it was an oversight, but you missed adding the extern to
