The EDK II C Coding Standards Specification (v2.20) strongly discourages
variable declarations in nested block scope:

5       Source Files
5.4     Code File Structure
5.4.1   Scoping Rules
5.4.1.1 Scope

> Block (local) Scope

> this type of declaration is strongly discouraged.

Hoist such variable declarations in Base64Decode() to the outermost
function scope.
