Yes, please. Thanks!

Yes, that's what I meant by "no later than in the DXE IPL PEIM".

PlatformPei is supposed to build the HOB in the first place, yes.
However, if it doesn't, then there still may be a feedback loop between
the DXE IPL PEIM and BDS. The former builds the HOB from the UEFI
variable, and the latter updates the variable (as I understand) for
future boots.
Thanks
